Installing Raid

My computer came with Raid 1 when I wanted it to have Raid 0. Its a gen 4 tower and I was wondering if anyone knew how to change it when I reformatt. Not sure on the settings or how to change it.

Create a RAID bootable diskette from Intels site w/ the latest drivers (you need this when reinstalling Windows because windows doesn't include proper RAID 0 drivers and will not detect it then.)
 
Then, I think (it's been a bit since my last one, but i'll be doing it again this week) you delete the existing RAID setup in the RAID BIOS (you know, the screen during bootup right after the Dell logo screen), it will tell you how to access it, usually by pressing ctrl + i.  So delete the old one, and then create a new one in RAID 0, then install windows and make sure you have the diskett inserted right when you put in the Windoes CD.
