I forgot to add that I usually don't run raid-0 on the boot partition (ie
c:). I always install the OS on a separate hd together with the apps I use,
and then raid only the secondary "data" partition (ie d:). I feel safer
doing this; if the raid should break, then the os is still bootable.
Something which I feel will help in picking up the pieces.

On the secondary data partition I install games and similar and also keep
iso cd/dvd-images etc that I work with. This way I don't have to reinstall
anything really, if the software raid should break.

I haven't so far had any software raid break, BTW, and I've been running
them for about three years or so.
