I would like to set up an intel raid 0 on my P4C800E dlx but not sure where to start. I?m looking at page 5-33 in the user guide.
My system is a couple months old and is currently:
P4C 3.4
Asus P4C800-E deluxe
120G Seagate IDE as my primary drive (I would like use it as a data drive in this system.)
160G Seagate SATA drive in sata1 (used for data). I bought another one to use for the raid 0.
2G of KVR (qualified)
XP Pro
Sound card, ati video card, wifi card
Antec true420
Cdrw and a dvdrw
What I think I need to do is:
1. set the IDE configuration in the bios to ?Onboard IDE Operate Mode = Enhanced? ?Enhanced Mode Support On = S-ATA? ?Configure S-ATA as RAID = Yes? and then ?Serial ATA BOOTROM = Enabled? save my settings and power down.
2. plug both sata (Seagate) drives into sata1 and sata2 (take out the IDE drive for now
3. restart and wait for the message to ?<Ctrl-I> (is this similar to the message to hit F-6 to load SCSI drivers? But this mobo has that utility/drivers on a rom chip?)
4. follow the intel raid configuration utility to creat a new raid 0.
5. the user guide stops here?so I am guessing I ?
6. restart and boot from the cd drive with the xp pro cd inside, see the one big drive?
7. format (ntsf), partition if I want to and then install the os.
