i got a couple of wd re's 160gb and want to run them in raid 0
will i beable to install vista as normal or do i need to insert a floppy with raid drivers?
i downloaded some raid driver from my mobo manufacturer, just wanted to check if i actually need it to make them raid 0 or not
if so how?

Dear dcyphure,
actually the only thing I like of Vista is that it seems to recognize RAID configurations during installation. You won't need mobo drivers (keep them handy tough, you'll never know...) nor nlite, just your OS cd.
Eventually, you will encounter lots of troubles "after" the installation. I run a RAID 0 conf, with WD and a nvidia chipset 590 mobo. Well, this is the second time in ten days that I have to reinstall Vista because Microsoft just released its WHQL drivers for nvidia raid controllers...
Well, my suggestion is, JUST STICK TO THE ORIGINAL DRIVERS AND WATCH WHAT WINDOWS UPDATE TRIES TO INSTALL ON YOUR OS!
MS drivers are crippled and send my RAID 0 in loop... So again, tonite, I will reinstall the OS, as that is the only things I am left to do... *sighs*
