I've yet to find any step by step. Only guides. And those onboard software RAIDs are so bad at times I had hopes folk would get so burned up about it they would go back ot Adapter cards with onboard firmware raid.
So yes, there are guides. No step by step since you could choose Raid 0,1, other, 2, 3, 7 drives and to have a step by step for each variant is not possible.
Besides, I never found support for "XP" for this. We only saw this work on XP SP2 CDs or later.

Hi there,
I want to do a clean install of xp and being a novice I proceeded to google around for all the necessary information. I started downloading the drivers I would need and eventually reached the stage at which I needed to download my Raid driver. This is where I started to think I might have bitten off more than I can chew! For starters I didnt even know what this Via Raid was, but didnt let that deter me as I'm adept at learning as I go along, so I continued to read, read and read some more but have come to the conclusion that I'm never going to understand how to install xp with Raid in my way
. . . . . or am I?
Can anyone give me some plain speaking, step by step instructions on installation?
I have 2 hard drives, windows being on the smaller one at the moment but thought it might be a good idea to reinstall on the larger drive? It was previously used for storage but had masses of space wasted as nothing ever stayed on it long before being backed up to disc.
