662008	2008-04-24 02:50:00	I am installing two 36GB Raptors in RAID 0 for the Vista 64bit o/s and four 500Gb Barracudas as storage. Should I install just the Raptors,then the o/s then the storage later?	Glenn Webster (7620)
662009	2008-04-24 02:54:00	Knowing windows it's probably a sensible idea to install your boot drives first, and then connect the rest later	Agent_24 (57)

Well, if you setup correctly, It wont matter, I would personally depending if you have XP SP! or 2 slipstreamed to your install media go with the RAID array 1st, SP to latest version yeah, sounds good!

662011	2008-04-24 03:47:00	I would never install an SP after installing windows if I can help it, would much rather prefer to slipstream if possible You can download SP3 now anyway so that might be worth slipstreaming that first before you start	Agent_24 (57)

I have never had an issue with Windows screwing with any of my other HDDs during install that I did not specify.	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

If they have other OS on them, it's pretty much a requirement or you will start having fun... or at least, that's what's always happened to me.	Agent_24 (57)
