Hi I just bought a pair of IBM 180GPS 80 gb HD. I went ahead and formatted both drives as NTFS at clusters f 1024 and then converted the disk to dynamic disks. Now here is the thing. I dont have a raid controller but I believe a raid can be doen via software am I correct? What I need help on is how the hell do I get XP to get installed ontot eh striped volume? Thanks for the help!!
Regards,

James-Lee

    You cannot install the OS on it's own stripped volume. The OS has to be installed in order to create and manage the dynamic disks. You will need to install the OS on it's own patition first.

    Go to the "Disk Manager" and lookup "Stripped Volumes" in the help section. It will give you all the info you need.
