    HD on raid ide setup ok for 1st time power up?

    I am preparing to put a new rig together-XP2000, Epox 8k5a2, WD 80mb, cdrw, and dvd.

    I am aware that it is possible to use the 2 raid ports on my motherboard to use as regular ide ports, as long as it is for Harddrives and not optical drives. At any rate, the WD drive will be in new status, and needs to be formatted. Will I be able to format it after booting up if it is plugged into one of the raid ports, or should I have this in IDE 1 first, format, and then go back and put in the raid spot? Thanks in advance!
