New build raid ???

Ok I am putting together the new machine.....I am going to have two raid 1 setups. Should I start with just one and install the O/S and get it running then add the second.......or just go for both at once?

Asus P4C800
2- 74 gig raptors
2- 200 gig (both sets Sata)

I had more problems with my Abit BIOS trying to setup using just one of the SATA/RAID controllers. It kept hanging when it would get to the second controller (Silicon Image) and it couldn't find a drive attached, I could *not* find any way to disable it in BIOS... Although I am not running two RAID's, just a single drive on my sil controller, I would recommend just going for broke and trying it with setting both up. Windows will allow ya to load multiple drivers during install, and doesn't even care if they're on multiple disks...
