I think I am having a “blonde moment”?
I am building this (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=124856). Going to put Win 7 on it (Because of Netflix) and Unraid. I haven’t played with unraid but have been reading for the last few weeks.
As the parts are starting to arrive and before I make a mistake how do I actually make unraid work?
I will have 4 drives total to start. One is the SSD for fast booting, and other 3 are all 1TB. I am sensing that I will have to buy a bigger 2TB drive within the week?
I am assuming this:
1) Install Win 7 on this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820148441)
2) do something fancy to make unraid work (need guidance here)
3) install XBMC on top of Win 7 SSD
4) start to “add sources” in XBMC from other drives
5) verify everything worked out like I planned
I must have misunderstood some things with unraid. I am to understand that you have to BOOT from a thumb drive to Unraid so it can find all drives, set parity drive, etc…
Then what order does win 7 come in?
Thanks for all the help.
