Ok, here's the deal. I have (2) hard-drives that i want to use in my new rig. How do i set them up? Do i use a raid card or set them up in a way where H/D 1 is primary master and H/D 2 is secondary master with the CD drives as slaves?

My rig will consist of the following parts:

Mobo = Intel 875PBZ
Proc = Intel 2.6GHz (800 FSB)
H/D 1 = Western Digital 30G (7200) Ultra ATA/100
H/D 2 = Western Digital 80G (7200) Ultra ATA/100
Memory = 1024MB DDR RAM
CD/RW = Plextor 48/24/48
CD/ROM = ASUS 52x
Vid card = Radeon 9500 Pro
O/S = WinXP Pro

I currently have one 30G H/D as primary master with the CD/ROM as primary slave. The CD/RW is the secondary master with nothing as secondary slave.
How should i configure new rig with the components listed? Do i have to install WinXP Pro on the 2nd H/D ?
