what are your thoughts on the raid vs. single drives? i'm hesitant to just scrap this OS install, but atleast there isn't anything important on it.

I am kind of missing what we are saying on that.
I will be doing a fresh OS install on blank drives, so as long as I can do BIOS updates withought loosing my RAID config, and having to re-install the OS I think I'm fine with it?
I feel like I am missing something.
Just so things might go smother for me, I baught a program called Wipedrive that was recomended in the ABIT IP35 Pro thread. I made the bootable CD, booted using my Pavilion, and wrote 0's on all 4 of my drives that I will be using on the new system. Then I formated all 4 of the drives again with my Pavilion running Vista 32 Home Premium. This may help the RAID install go better?
When I do the OS install, I should probably just leave the 2 Raptors SATA cables in, until Vista is totally installed correctly.
