tomorrow i would like to try and set up a raid 0. i've always thought it way beyond my ability,.....
after reading tutorials and manuals i am not convinced i will succeed, so i was hoping i could have a few checks before proceeding.
i went to the asus website and downloaded this;;; http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
then winrar extracted the files (i think). post a pic soon . in the files extracted are x86, 3 files which is what i need for win 7 x 64 i would think, but there is other stuff in there too for x64 which would be a 32 bit os. anyway should i just transfer it all on to a usb stick (no floppy)and see how it goes ?
using sata 1 and 2 ports is recom'nd. when booting up after installing , in this case 2 60gb ssd's i have to press ctrl + f, according to the manual. this allows amd's software to be opened to configure the raid and i also need to set the raid mode in bios. ie not ide, but raid. simple enough, but just to check, do the ssds need to be installed and the bios set to raid before i can access ctrl + f ....thankyou.
