Choose the hard disks that are to be RAID enabled in the system BIOS.

②

Specify the RAID level, either Mirroring (RAID 1), Striping (RAID 0), Striping and Mirroring (RAID 0+1), or

Spanning (JBOD) and create the desired RAID array.

③

Install the operating system on one hard disk, then reboot the system.

④

Run the Windows nForce Setup application and install the RAID driver.

⑤

Initialize the NVRAID Array.

5.1.1.2 Bootable RAID Array
