well actually what i did was have two drives there and then i installed windows on a partition on one hard disk. and have the rest of the disk taht does not have the system files on a RAID 0 thingy do you mean after that install windows again and instal it on one of the stripped partitions? are the drives supposed to look as one from the beginning? cuz when i installed it both drives were freshly formatted. is that wrong? | |

F6 is XP drivers, the RAID setup has nothing to do with windows.
When you first turn on your computer, after the POST screen ( page where you press DEL to enter setup). The next screen is the RAID screen, were you press F5 or somthing like that. It will say what to press to enter, on the screen.

You shouldn't need F6 for the IDE drives.
