    I give up... any ideas?

    I posted this at OCuk

    "ok, to make a long story short I wish to copy a windows instalation from a 160 gig sata hard drive (using right now as boot) to a raid array of 2 raptors (raid 0)

    I tried to instal windows directly to the raid but had several driver problems... So what software do I use? "


    After getting no replys I decided to do some reserch on my own! I discovered the DOS command Xcopy... I used the command "XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r" But when I tried to boot from the raid 0 it didnt work?

    Any ideas? or free alternatives to use?

    I'd not even think about "copying" windows to a different raid setup Myth, and this should probably be in the help section?.

    But with Sata raid, you know that you need to press F6 when installing windows?, then put the sata raid controller drivers in there so that windows knows how to talk to your hard disks.
