I installed Vista a couple of days ago and saw they I only have 21 GB left on my 69 GB RAID 0 setup that Vista is installed on. I know about the windows_old folder. Can I just delete this folder to get rid of my old windows xp setup? Or, alternatively, can I create a dual boot setup with this folder or did I have to do that earlier? It's odd that it didn't completely reformat my HDD like the XP install used to. Will this slow down my computer or is it possible to reinstall Vista with a reformat?
Also, this is not the topic of the thread, but I read in a thread on this website that people were not recommending a RAID 0 setup. Is this true, I'd assume it's not since your still getting increased access times.
I can still reinstall, as I haven't installed all the drivers yet.
I read it's best to install all drivers before connecting to the internet because windows will automatically start looking for them. When I installed the mobo drivers, it kept asking me to allow it to make the changes. Is there a way I can turn this off? Also, are there any good beginners guides for Windows Vista. I had 2 great guides on how to make XP speed up when it came out. Or are they similar and I can go into the registry and make similar changes?
Thanks and sorry for sooo many questions.
