1.  Don't bother setting them up in any RAID configuration!     I'd just leave them as two separate drives.    By leaving them as two separate drives, you'll have the capacity of each drive/both drives available to you.  They'll each have their own drive letters under Windows. That's exactly what I did, when I upgraded the two 200GB RAID 0'd drives which were in my laptop when I bought it, to the two 320GB WD Scorpio Blacks' I'm using now. I use the first (C:\) as the OS drive, and for downloads (before transferring them to an external HDD).  The second 320GB drive is used for all my games, videos, music etc :emotion-5:   2.  Assuming you still want to set up a RAID 0 configuration, there's a very good video here, which explains how to set up RAID 0 on a XPS M1730 specifically - but it's exactly the same procedure on any system [;)   3.  Don't just download the ones you "feel you'll need", because... as sure as I am that Dolly Parton sleeps on her back... you'll end up needing drivers you never bothered downloading :emotion-55: It may very well turn out, that Windows 7 installs all the drivers necessary.  But what if it doesn't, and you need drivers you didn't "feel you'd need"? So my advice would be to download them all, and copy them to an external source - i.e. CD/DVD, pendrive (flash drive), hard drive, or whatever.   The only exception to that, might be drivers for the wireless card? Understandably - Dell offer drivers for any number of different model wireless cards, under the one heading. So find out exactly which card you've got, then you'll know which specific drivers you need to download :emotion-21:
Hello,   I would like to do a clean install of Windows 7, but I'm concerned on some issues.   I know nothing about configuring hardware.  I know that my computer has a total of 640 Gigs of space (320x2).  When installing Windows 7, will I need to know how to configure the drives in some way?   If I AM successful at completing the install, how do I reinstall the System Restore?  Is it on the driver CDs that came with my computer (XPS 400)?   Will I have trouble networking wirelessly between Windows 7 and my other system's Windows XP?   There are other questions I had in mind, but I can't recall them at the moment.   Thank you in advance for any help you can provide :emotion-18:
