To boot from the RAID device, you will need to do two things. First, the
CMOS setup (BIOS) will need to be configured to boot from the RAID. Second,
you will need to add the RAID drivers to the Windows OS installation. I have
done this before and it works ok. However, I have given up on RAID since the
speed improvement was negligible on my system, and the risk of failure does
increase substantially. You might want to think about this when making your
final choice.

Good luck.

My original intent was to put the OS on the RAID and data on IDE 1 & 2.
Well, stumbling in the darkness of my ignorance, I ended up installing Win2K
on both the first IDE and the RAID. The system boots up on the first IDE
drive. Never sees the RAID installation and I have not been able to switch,
so that the system boots up on the RAID. The logic of RAIDs still escapes
me. Got a mental block about them.
