KT6V LSR Raid Setup????

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

I am going to setup a Raid0 config on this board..my question is do I need
to setup the raid in the bios first and then install XP(let XP partition and
format) or Setup XP on one of the Sata drives first and then use the Windows
raid utility to setup the raid. This will be my first attempt at doing this
so I want to get it right. This board uses the Via 8237 southbridge. Thanks
for your help in advance.

Sure, for the raid0.
So You want to install your OS directly to that raid0.
Okay, then you'll need to setup a raid0 array in your
controller bios.
But dont't look forward, that your system will still
be running in 3-4 weeks.

Good luck! (look out for 'broken array').

sticky ready for ya Mark.
