P5AD2-E Premium Raid 0

I have just purchased an asus P5AD2-E Premium motherboard. I want to
create a raid 0 (2 WD Raptors), what should I know before I start? Are
there Jumper Settings? (Master and Slave) I am more concerned about the
physical hardware, I have the Floppy with the drivers on it when I go
to install XP Pro. Is there anything else I should know? besides
these two things? Thanks

Just start loadin XP and push F6 to load your Raid drivers when asked...

SATA has no master slave setting. You must first go into the SATA BIOS and
setup the raid, don't remember the key combo. See the manual. Then you will
need a floppy with the RAID drivers for when you hit F6 to load the drivers.
