I'm sure this has been covered all ready so let me ask it again

Is there a way to install two new drives after windows 7 has been installed and set up both new drives as one logical raided drive letter. I need to combine the space of 2 x 500GB HDD's into a 1TB logical Drive space for Storage?

I am aware I'll have to go into my bios and Enable Raid mode some how while still being able to access the original C: Drive in IDE mode for booting up if at all possible.

I'm thinking I should be able to unplug my C Drive from it's SATA port while I enable the raid mode to apply to the 2x 500GB drives into one logical drive, save bios settings, shut down, hook up C: Drive and reboot to Win 7 Gui and install Drivers for the 2x raided drives.

I read something from a google search about making changes in the registry prior to configuring raid in the bios and booting back to Win 7 Gui. Is this a requirement to get win 7 to use RAID mode?

Thank you,

N2G

First do the registry edit in Windows.
