Vista Reformat + Raid = No more Raid?

Trunkz Jr · 09-28-2007, 04:48 AM

Just wondering if I reformat my Vista, will I still have my RAID-0 and stuff? (I know, it's a stupid question).

Are you formatting the RAID or another drive? Obviously if you format the RAID, then you lose the data there, but setting up the two drives should all be within the bios. So, you shouldn't have to reconfigure anything if that's what you're wondering about. I'm not too sure how drivers work with Vista, if you need to load them during setup or what as you do with XP...

Well I just want to start Vista over cause alot of messed up things have been happening and I think im missing Windows files and stuff, i've tried alot of thing, I think reformating or whatever is easier. I just wanted to know if it would effect my Raid-0 or anything cause i'm not sure how the shop guy hooked this up and i dont wanna have to bring it in just cause of this lol

This is my Setup:

EVGA 8800 GTX KO ACS3 edition
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
X-FI Xtreme Gamer
Western Digital Raptor 150GB x2 in RAID-0
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB x2
