    Question HELP Needed/SATA & RAID Drivers and set up

    Hi

    I have bought a Biostar IDEQ 200N barebones unit ,second hand from a computer fair ,it was still in the box,but with out any driver cd or any manuals or instructions.

    Now i have installed all the needed componets, i have installed
    2 samsung Spinpoit 120gb SATA drives,one in the normal hard drive bay,the other in the place where the floppy drive would have gone,all the other componets and cables are in and checked,my problem is i want to set the drives up in a RAID O array,now i know i need drivers for the SATA and the RAID,and that they need to be loaded from a floppy disk at some point.

    I have been to the Biostar web page relievant to the model i've got the Ideq 200N here BIOSTAR IDEQ 200N WEB PAGE" ,i can see that there are 2 sets of drivers relating to
    SATA and RAID ,now do i have to download both sets ? ,andf if so in want order should they be loaded ? or do i only need one set ? and if so which set ?
    And when i have got which ever drivers are needed ,how to i load them ? ,and in what order in relation to loading the OP system ? ,which is XP,and then how do i set up the RAID O array ? .

    I have down loaded the manual for the IDEQ 200N and there is no instruction about SATA or RAID .so can any one please help with any of my questions.
    Also i have got a floppy drive that conects via a USB conection ,can i use this to load the drivers ? .
    Please can some one help me out.
    Thanks
