At this time, no. The SoftRAID driver loads after Windows is booted, so a SoftRAID volume cannot be a startup volume. We do not have any planned releases at this time to get around this limitation.

Is this your question?

We're leasing dedicated servers on OVH for hosting. They offer only soft-raid (no hardware raid) and our problem is that Windows do not natively support soft-raid.
Can SoftRAID create raid volumes prior to Windows installation? Or can it only create raid volumes after windows are installed?

Asking so that our entire Windows installation is on a raid volume.

Thank you

Alex
