How do you set up Raid Configuration?

Medic was right, except he/she didn't realize you are trying to run IDE raid with two different IDE controllers.  You can't do that.  If your motherboard doesn't support IDE RAID, then you are going to have to use both hard drives through the PCI IDE controller, assuming it's RAID capable.  If it isn't, I'd go with 4 SATA drives.

If the hard drive supports SATA, then that is by far the best interface to use.  It is faster than IDE.\n\nRAID is not an interface type, it is a type of configuration that can make data storage more reliable by duplicating data on the hard drive or adding error correction information.  Unless you are using this drive for business purposes, you probably don't need to worry about RAID.

No, RAID 1 only provides fault tolerance, not performance increases. Performance increases come from striping such as in RAID 3 or RAID 5.

yes you can, because i am doing it. for my comp i have a pci sata raid card that allows me to do this, some mobo's have an integrated sata and you can plug into there. plug in, power on, and go. of course with my sata hd i had to use a special program on cd that came with it to set it up properly. but no problems so far, nor do i expect any.

Raid is the use of multiple disk drives to do one of two things. 1. mirror the disk drives so that if one fails, the other will continue to function and you will not loose your data. 2. stripe the data across multiple drives so that the computer will access the data faster. Raid drives require multiple disk drives and a Raid disk controller. Some mother boards have a built in Raid controller.

I'm assuming that you have it installed already and correctly, meaning you set the jumpers correctly.  First, right click on my computer, select manage, select disk management, right click on your new hard drive.  Initialize it.  Once you initialize it you can set up your partitions from there.

Enable 48-bit LBA Support for Large Hard Drives should help you out.\nhttp://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1115/

You need to verify that your controller supports hot-swap.  Some early controllers did not support this.  Also I think many cheap on-board controllers may not support it.  Also remember you can't hot swap your OS drive.\n\nBut the short answer is no, raid is not required to have a hot swap sata drive.

During installation of Windows you were prompted to press "F6" to install any SATA or 3rd part RAID drivers. Try reinstalling again, and when you come to that prompt, put the floppy containing your SATA drivers into your floppy disk drive. \n\np.s. WARNING: The power supply has absolutely nothing to do with it. DO NOT change the voltage settings on your power supply, as you can possibly fry your motherboard if the settings are not correct. If you live in North America, the voltage settings should be 110/115. If you live in North America, and you change it to 220...there's a chance you will be saying goodbye to your motherboard.\n\nIn most cases the voltage will come preset for the region you live in. Voltage settings of 220/230 are for Europe.

Is it in a scsi raid array, or with HD overi think is 300gb., in that case you will need advanced HD drivers. download from google with search HD name and size.

RAID = Rendundant Array of Independent Disks\n\nIt's a Logical Disk, made from a group of Physical Disks that are combined to hold the data consistency and reliability. \n\nIn other words, is a system which uses multiple hard drives to share or replicate data among the drives\n\nThere are various levels of RAID, here you have the most common levels:\n\nRAID 0 = Disk Striping or Stripe Set. The highest transfer rate, but not redundant so you don't have fault tolerance; if you lose a disk, you lose the data of that disk.\n\nRAID 1 = Mirroring. This RAID type uses a group of disks as a mirror, having all the data replicated in each physical disk, so if one fails, the other(s) has/have all the data and keep working. So it is fault tolerant. You only have to replace the failed one, and it will start a rebuild process of the data contained in the good ones.\n\nRAID 0+1 or 0/1 or 10 = Both Worlds. This Raid level has both of the above levels combined. It offers high performance with fault tolerance. You need the disk by pair in this level (4, 6, 8 ....)\n\nRAID 2: stripes data at the bit (rather than block) level, and uses a Hamming code for error correction. The disks are synchronized by the controller to run in perfect tandem. This is the only original level of RAID that is not currently used. Extremely high data transfer rates are possible.\n\nRAID 3: uses byte-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. RAID 3 is very rare in practice. One of the side effects of RAID 3 is that it generally cannot service multiple requests simultaneously. This comes about because any single block of data will by definition be spread across all members of the set and will reside in the same location, so any I/O operation requires activity on every disk.\n\nRAID 4:  uses block-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. RAID 4 looks similar to RAID 3 except that it stripes at the block, rather than the byte level. This allows each member of the set to act independently when only a single block is requested. If the disk controller allows it, a RAID 4 set can service multiple read requests simultaneously.\n\nRAID 5: uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks. RAID 5 has achieved popularity due to its low cost of redundancy. Generally, RAID 5 is implemented with hardware support for parity calculations.\n\nEvery time a block is written to a disk in a RAID 5, a parity block is generated within the same stripe. A block is often composed of many consecutive sectors on a disk. A series of blocks (a block from each of the disks in an array) is collectively called a "stripe". If another block, or some portion of a block, is written on that same stripe the parity block (or some portion of the parity block) is recalculated and rewritten. For small writes, this requires reading the old data, writing the new parity, and writing the new data. The disk used for the parity block is staggered from one stripe to the next, hence the term "distributed parity blocks". RAID 5 writes are expensive in terms of disk operations and traffic between the disks and the controller.\n\nRAID 100: sometimes also called RAID 10+0, is a stripe of RAID 10s. RAID 100 is an example of plaid RAID, a RAID in which striped RAIDs are themselves striped together.\n\nThere's a lot of info about RAID on the web. Try this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks#RAID_2\n\n\nHope this helps. Regards.

watever database server you r using, the database depends on the capacity of ur drive....u can either set the limit or admin would have set a limit...so it depends on the size of ur drive.

from windows NT like 2000 and xp\n\nthen install partition magic easy tool\n\nif its the first time the hard is new\nso put a boot CD in CD room and make the CD room the first booting system\n\nthen the windows will inform u that Ur hard is not partition and it will lead u to choose spaces for Ur new drives with selecting each type if u want it ntfs or fat32

Hard to say without knowing what you are using to control RAID.  Is it software raid controlled by OS?  Do you have a dedicated RAID controller?  How much memory on the RAID controller?\n\nGuessing you are using software RAID, I would say the reads and writes will be faster to 1 SCSI drive then to mirrored 7200 SATA drives.\n\nSee this article for comparison of the two:\nhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=41803&DisplayTab=Article

Start>run>msconfig\n\nYou can set it through there.
