I wanna setup a RAID 5 Array using the 3 empty 250GB Hard Drives I have so I can safely store files that I can't burn right now but would rather not lose.
I installed 64-bit Vista on a newly partitioned 750GB and just assumed It'd be a doddle to do the rest at a later date. Unfortunately after stupidly reading the manual now instead of when assembling, it suggests that I needed to do an important step during the Vista installation, so I guess I'm screwed right now.
Has anyone actually done this, how easy is it to set up? Do I need the 3 drives plugged into any specific SATA ports, Do I really need a floppy drive or can I use a USB key?
Lastly although I'll have to reinstall Vista is to get the driver is there anyway I can make the process of getting everything right again once Vista is installed (E.g codecs, programs, Firefox add-ons & bookmarks, drivers)
Thanks!
