I made some research, but did not found what I was searching for.

I want to set two 80 gig HD in a raid 1 configuration (mirroring).
Those 2 drives will contains my precious data like digital pictures,
MP3s ...

Briefly I want to set

- 1 Independent drive (30 gig) for my OS (C Drive)
- 1 Independent drive (120 gig) for applications (D Drive)
- 2 Mirrored drive(80 gig each) (RAID 1) for my data (E Drive)

I want to protect my data disk only. So I just want to set the raid
for my drives with personnal data.

Question:

1. Is it possible to set that configuration with the P4C800 Deluxe?
2. If yes, any hint on the setting? (Which cable where... drivers...
setting in BIOS)

Since you'll have the ICH5, not the ICH5R, you'll need to stick the C and D
drives on the standard ATA controller (ICH5), and the two drives you wish to
RAID on the Promise Controller.

Then you'll be booting from IDE-0 (C Drive) before the Promise (SCSI).
