How do I go about setting up my system if I only have one harddrive and that harddrive is SATA and has to be bootable? I'm using XP2 slip-streamed. The harddrive is a WD 120GB. Do I need raid?? Thanks.

You only need drivers if you are using more than one drive in raid, or if u are using a non-native sata port. If you use one of the four ports connected to the nvidia northbridge then you dont need to do anything more than you would if you were using an ata drive.

You still have to enter bios and create a jbod array for the single drive. When you begin to install windows hit F6 when prompted and use the driver disk and install the drivers.

You don't need to do an array for a single drive. I have the same motherboard and just have a single SATA drive. I didn't need to do anything special to get it working - didn't have to load any extra drivers via F6 at the beginning.
