Multi (Leo/Vista) boot RAID0 arrays from SSDs

[DoFoT9]

I saw this thread a few days ago and, while I thought I was pretty sure, didn't want to pipe in prematurely to say 'Software RAIDs can't dual boot' which is always what I understood. Is this basically the truth we're discovering?

Its unfortunate that this method doesnt seem to work with vista, i wonder how xp would handle it..

im really liking this method as it gives a nice speed increase whilst giving you the flexibility to dualboot (theoretically anyway lol).

I have just wish it was a bit more redundant lol! I purchased a hd caddy to go in the optical bay of my mbp so i guess i can try this in the next few months too there has to be a way around it.

That's odd...
What browser are you using? I'm using Firefox and it works...

Yea its really odd. I am using the latest safari, i didnt think of ff ill give that a try nice suggestion.

It's there.

Click the Start menu, goto All Programs, and scroll down until you see a folder called Intel Matrix Storage Manager. The application is located there.

I actually knew where it is. It simply does not do what it is supposed to do.

I dunno why, because thing thing would be all I needed. I have ordered two Intel 80GB now.

Ah. I wasn't sure, as I had to hunt for it myself when I built my system, I remembered reading about it just as you had.

I've only looked at it a couple of times, and it does seem rather useless.

having a small but fairly in-depth Microsoft Networking Certificate, that disc management tool is very handy especially in a server environment! i can see where it would be advantageous.

I'm using it in a workstation environment, and the same information can be found elsewhere, so I wasn't impressed.

But currently, none of the drives on the ICH10R are in software RAID either, and it was a brief experiment when I got the system first assembled (April-ish of this year).

ahh right. its such a stupid piece of software to use though! very M$

Disk Utility is so much easier (although a tad general), what other third party software is there to set up software RAIDs??

Other than the included drivers for say a Fake RAID card, I'm not aware of any for Windows, but I've not looked that hard either.

I do recall spotting something for OS X in the forum though, and it may be this.

sorry i should have specified, i was referring to RAID software for Windows machines but OSX software is good too!! ill put it in my archive hope it works lol
