I need to raid hard drives on a computer using windows
Typically when initially installing win there is a msg re installing third
party drivers, and F6 to do so. You then need a *floppy* with the raid drivers on to install them. If you miss the F6 prompt the install will fail. After installation you may need to amend boot order to scsi - depends on yr mobo bios.

I need to raid hard drives on a computer using windows
That all depends on what controller you are using... most come with either a
pre-prepared floppy or files on the CD that can be copied to the floppy disk. Either way it is fairly straight forward. Of course if you do not have a working computer and need to access you contoller CD you will have to ask a friend to use his/hers. Usually they do not make them hard to find on the CD... usually the drivers are in a folder called "Drivers" and may either be individual files to be copied to the floppy or one larger "make disk" type program that automatically writes the drivers to the floppy. As an alternative option these drivers are usually available from the manufactorer of the controller being used - and are often newer. Frequently they will have directions on how to prepare the driver disk for XP installation!
