    So far I have a dual boot going on. I have XP installed on 2 HD's inRaid 0 and slapped another HD in to load windows 7 and try it out. So far I like it so I want to try it in Raid.

    If any1 knows how to get the windows 7 beta installed Raid LMK.

    I haven't installed it yet, but I loaded the 64bit install disk to check, and it sees my 3 hard drive RAID0 and all the partitions on it correctly without any extra drivers.
    So I don't think you need any, at least with the 64bit version. Your wasting your time installing the 32bit version on a D901C.

    My wei score was 2.9 with my seagate momentus 7200.2 200gb, but it's 5.8 with my new WD scorpio black 320GB, it's broken with some drives/configs. Send some feedback.

    So do the WEI numbers worth anything? cause I have the windows 7 installed on a 100Gb Momentus 7200.1 and it gives a 2.9. I figured it was true as the drive is 3yrs old and probably slow.

    Although I havent noticed any slowness with this drive?

    Is it worth reloading it on a 250GB WD scorpion Black to see if there is a difference?

    There will be a difference, both in performance and (probably) in WEI. You could bench the performance with HDTune, but the WEI is definately buggy and as you can see, my momentus 200GB got 2.9 in win7 although it got 5.3 in vista.
