Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - installing RAID after installing Windows?

dubrichie · 26th June 2007

thanks for the replies.

the SATA drivers for my mobo are installed, my system drive is SATA.

so i can just plug in the 2 new drives i want to use as RAID 1 when the machine is off, fire her up into windows and set up the desired RAID 1 on the 2 new, unformatted drives in windows disk management?

no need to install RAID stuff before getting to windows?

cheers,
