Archived from groups: alt>comp>hardware>homebuilt (more info?)

I know about using the RAID 0 drivers on the floppy, but before that,
do I need to do the FDISK stuff to format each drive? I just want one
big drive ( or two big drives ). What do I do exactly? Install one,
run FDISK to partition it, remove it, install the other, run FDISK to
partion it, then reinstall the first, then begin the XP installation,
hitting F6 to install 3rd party drivers?

Why would you be messing with fdisk if you're installing XP?

Install both drives, configure the RAID BIOS, install XP using driver
floppy.

Anything Win2k or later will do partitioning for you.
