Setting up RAID

[Dexaroni]

I have an 80 GB HD, and a 120 GB HD. Both are IDE, and my motherboard says that it supports RAID on both the SATA and IDE ports.

Could I set these two disks up in RAID 0?

If so, what else would I need? Sorry for the incredibly noobish question, I searched, and nothing turned up, and the google results were very inconclusive.

nope, gotta be identical hdd's

they dont need to be identical who told you that?? they need to be similar and i believe the parameters in terms of hdd space is 3:2 in other words 80 and 120 should work fine in a raid 0 array but you will only get 100gb hdd space. With windows xp there should be raid software to do an easy step wizard for creating the raid array i just cant remember wer to find it
