Default Finally set up and got RAID working! :D

If you've been here for a while, you know that I like to post about my achievements. This is one of those posts.

For the last couple days I've been working on getting a RAID Array set up on my computer for the last couple days, haven't had ANY luck, had to reinstall Vista at LEAST 5 or 6 times. But I FINALLY got it! The last 3 or so installs worked, but every time I'd turn on my PC I'd get a message about some drivers that didn't install right.

I found out that in order to get Vista to be compatible with the Array, you had to load some drivers around the 4th install. Than the 5th install, I had the wrong drivers, but the 6th install I finally got it and there was no more messages about those da** drivers.

Anyways, it's 5 AM, I'm just kinda getting everything back to how it was before now. I'm probably going to head off to bed pretty soon.

For those of you (probably most) who don't know what a RAID Array is, it's when you combine 2 physical Hard Drives to form 1 logical Hard Drive. For example, I have 2 55 GB Hard Drives in my computer, however, my computer sees it as 1 111 GB Hard Drive.

I worked so hard to get this SOB to work at first because 55 GB was REALLY small, but than it turned into more of a "ARGH!!! THIS THING'S NOT GOING TO BEAT ME!!!" ordeal...
