P4C800-E Deluxe how to setup RAID 0+1?

[SmileM]

Hi, I have the ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe MB and want to setup RAID 0+1.

1. Do I need to buy 2 SATA HDD's and connect them to SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2 and the other 2 SATA HDD's to SATA1, SATA2

2. Connect 2 SATA HDD's to SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2 and the other 2 IDE HDD's to RAID Ultra ATA/133 connector.

I'm confused because:
1. RAID Ultra ATA/133 connector supports: RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1.
2. SATA connectors supports: RAID 0.
3. SATA RAID connectors supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1.

So as I understand I must use 2 SATA and 2 IDE HDD's because the SATA connectors don't support RAID 0+1 (only RAID 0 under windows XP) and won't form a multi-array with the other 2 HDD's connected on the SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2, or RAID Ultra ATA/133 connector?

so the ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe specifically says it does RAID 0+1?

if so, what does th e manual say? the manual should have expicit instructions..check the website for a manual and/or instructions

The manual says how to create RAID 0 on Intel controller and RAID 0,1 on promise. It does not say what configurations can be used to form a multi array 0+1. Must all HDD's be connected to promise controller or can 2 SATA HDD's be connected in stripe mode on intel controller and 2 in mirror on promise to create 0+1?
