- Boot to motherboard bios and enable RAID on the SATA ports you are using
- Reboot and enter the RAID bios (wait for it to flash during the POST process and press the appropriate key)
- Build your RAID array using the desired stripe size
- Reboot into motheboard bios and set your RAID array as your first HD boot device
- Reboot and install Windows... load RAID drivers using F6 in XP or when prompted in Vista
- Everything should work fine.
- Reconnect your other hard drives (if any).
