    Im lost guys. I have 2 120 gb maxtor HDD's set up to RAID 0. This gives me a nearly 240gb partition that I can see in my raid utility. Now I need to format and reinstall windows. Unforunatly, my floppy drive is long gone and a usb/firewire port has taken its 3.5 inch home anyway. I was under the impression that if I needed to reformat I could just boot from my winxp cd and choose the big partition to be formatted. But the partition is nowhere to be found. :eek:

    Is there a way I can format the 2 drives and reinstall winxp without going back and setting up the raid array again?

    Or could I possibly copy the raid drivers from my mobo cd to a usb thumbdrive, and then use that instead of a floppy to install my raid drivers during the winxp installation process?

    any help is appreciated.
