Is it possible to use software raid in Windows 7 on the boot partition?

Solution 1:

This message is telling you that if you turn the disk to dynamic, you'll only be able to boot that Windows installation. If you don't have other OS installed on your computer, don't worry about it.

More: with a dynamic disk you'll be able to do software RAID 1, but no RAID 0 to a Windows installation volume. You can get RAID 0 with a hardware controller o to another two disks that doesn't contain Windows installation.

Windows Software RAID 0.

If you're buying a new PC, an optimal configuration is:

• 1 SSD drive for Windows.
• 2 HDD identical drives (optional) in software RAID 0 for installing software, games, files...
• 1 HDD/USB for backing up important files, RAID 0 doesn't have fault tolerance. You can get it with RAID 10 (4 drives).
