Can anyone assist wtih installing Raid 0 on Vista?

[LieutenantFrost]

My apologies if Im posting this in the wrong section

Im attempting to set up raid 0 on my intel duo quad 6600 for my two raptor 150g drives, I've done some research and it seems pretty strightforward? but I wanted to check here first with anyone who might have some more experience. To the best of my understanding I have to alter my bios to Raid 0 then install vista, at the drive selection screen I have to tell it to load drivers from a floppy or flash drive, Im assuming I have that right?... what I don't know is which drivers? hardware? software? and where I go about getting them?

many thanks for any assistance

The drivers that came with your RAID card. If it's onboard fakeraid then they should be with your motherboard drivers.

You do realize though that if one drive does in a RAID0 you lose the entire volume, right?

yes I did know that, but Im only using this setup for gaming and I plan to ghost the drive as soon as I have it set up properly. Im not using a RAID card so, then the drivers I need are motherboard drivers,
Im using ASUS P5N32-E SLI motherboard, Do I just go to the asus site and search for raid drivers?

Yes, they should have drivers on the website for whatever chipset is on your board.

The asus site is asking me what series my motherboard is, my options are accessory utility or various socket specifications. I've scanned the manual but am unable to find the info its asking for. What am I missing here?

No clue, I always have a hell of a time finding the right Windows drivers.
