How do I convert a Windows 7 Ultimate install to Raid 0?

"If your BIOS supports RAID, then your problem will mostly be W7 drivers.
There are several ways you can go about it:

Try installing on the RAID - it might work out of the box if you're lucky.
Install on another drive, ensure that W7 sees your RAID, then take an image of the system disk and restore to the RAID.
Disconnect the second drive, set your BIOS to RAID and install on the first, add RAID drivers, then add the 2nd drive and convert it to RAID. See the advice at the end of this thread for similar advice.

Finally, whether this can work or not depends on the combination of your BIOS, motherboard and W7 drivers. The complications involved have led many people to using non-RAID as the boot medium."

Trying to ""convert"" an existing installation from a non-Raid to a Raid setup is not possible from what I understand. I recently wanted to do that with a hardware Raid and, after research, came to the conclusion that re-installing my system after setting up the Raid was the best solution."
