Question on Windows 7 and raid

Ok ive been looking at videos on youtube and doing searches but im still a little confused. I have an
Evga p55 mobo
1 wd raptor 300gb os hard drive
3 2 tb green drives (Ears)
1 1.5 tb green drive.

My bios has the sata set to ide. I have a windows 7 home prem upgrade disk. I want to set the 2 of the 2 tb drive to raid 0 so i can stream one large volume to my dune media player. (don't want the os on a raid drive) Do i have this right

I need to reinstall Windows 7 no matter what(does it matter that i have a upgrade disk?)
1) Set bios to raid
2) reboot then select the 2 drives i want to raid
3) reboot to cd and reinstall Windows 7 (since i am not install the os on a raid drive i don't need to f6 to install the Intel Raid Management drivers)

After the install is done that's it i don't have to do anything else? I've seen videos where people just went into disk management and right clicked the drives they want and set up raid that way.
Thanks for any help
 
The WD drives you have, have a tendency of getting booted off a RAID array. Make sure you have a duplicate copy of all you have on your proposed array. This is especially true for RAID 0, since each time one of your WD drives gets booted, you will loose the entire array.
