If you installed the OS without Raid enabled then you will need to enable it and reinstall the OS. That is the case on any computer. There might be a way to add the needed raid drivers into you current install of windows but I am not sure how. I had figured a way to do the oposite a few years ago with XP. If you look at that thread it might help you get an idea of where to start. http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/18275482/18398468.aspx#18398468
Ya, i knew that i would probally have to reinstall everything after i changed to RAID but i was hoping for some type of officail response from a dell badged. I would hate to change it and reinstall and still not be able to setup raid for some reason. Does it then give you the option (CTRL + R) or something to go into a configuration utility to pick what drives to use in your RAID setup?
