Ok, this is what I need to do, but I am unsure if its as straightforward as it seems. I've never delt with RAID, so its new to me.

My MB has on-board RAID, 2 IDE channels, 2 SATA Channels and separate plugins for SATA RAID.

I am currently doing some Digital Video Editing (DVE) and need to separate my internet and other PC activities from the DVE HDs. So, I purchased a WD Raptor SATA that I am going to use for everything EXCEPT DVE.

However, DVE requests/requires the IDE HDs that I will be using for DVE to be on separate IDE channels. Yet, from what I understand, RAID will see both HDs as one HD.

How Do I set this up so, that I have the:

WD Raptor on SATA non-RAID for internet and everything else
DVD-rom & DVD-Burner on primary IDE 2
and
The DVE OS HD functional and working with the A/V HD?

I am not using any Matrox, Canopus, etc capture cards.
I am using Adobe Premiere which many others use with RAID setups.

So, is this as straightforward as it seems?
Just set up a RAID with both DVE HDs, put the DVD components on primary 2 and install the WD Raptor non-RAID?

TIA
