I read the article for setting up a flash drive to install Win 7 and I would like to set my configuration up for raid. Does anyone know if you could add the raid driver to the install files or would it need to be on a different disk? My motherboard is set up so I can specify which disks are raid and it also has a boot manager option during POST so I can choose which device to start up from (which can be hdd, flash, optical, etc.). I remember from earlier versions of windows you had to mannually add the raid driver at the install startup. Does Windows 7 still require this or will it automatically know that the disks are in raid sequence? I have always worked with single disk drive systems and I am wanting to expand my knowlege and will be trying this on my home system to test the benefits that I have read about raid systems. One last thing, is there any particular HDD size that seems to work better in raid (500GB compared to 2TB). I appreciate any opinions and help you can offer.
