Default How to install new SATA drives for RAID 0?

I'm building a new system. I just got 2 Maxtor SATA hard drives. I
will be installing WinXP as OS. Do I need to format and partion the
hard drives with the Maxtor-supplied CD before I start the XP/RAID 0
installation? Or will XP see that they're not formatted or partioned
and do it first before loading RAID drivers? ( I have RAID drivers on
floppy that came with mobo, Intel D865PERL). I plan not to partion
them, just one big C drive. (I have the CD-RWs already installed and
BIOS sees them).

all you do is install the raid drivers when windows tell you to and it will
do it automatically...
follow the prompts...
i got 2 seagate SATA drives on raid 0 and it`s killer...

Thanks.I needed to know if I formatted and partioned new drives first,
but I'm all set.
