I have a KG7 raid board from abit. I have a couple of identical 20GB drives laying around and have decided to toss them in and set up a 40GB stripe for video files and maybe applications. nothing crucial. I plan to still keep XP on the WD 40GB single drive.

the question is if I'm not going to have an OS on that array and it's not bootable, do I need to do anything with XP. If I set up the array in the raid bios, I should be able to boot right to XP as normal then format and partition it with disk management console right?
