[GanMan]

Last one month i used sony vaio VPC Z laptop and now i want to install Windows 8 Developer Preview on this laptop. Currently it running with Windows 7 Professional. I try to use another partition for installing the Windows 8 Developer Preview but trouble happens due to the Vaio Z being RAID. I need to configure this Configure RAID/JBOD. WIndows 7 already presents on C drive.

I must say to you for don't make any unnecessary changes on your laptop. Simply try to use the VirtualBox software and install Windows 8 Developer Preview OS on your external storage device. In this external storage device you can simply use the Pen drive, external HDD or many other things. Hence use this software and install win 8 on it. its an beta version of win 8 and install well without any issue. Hence try this and check its result. This is well for you to fix your installation problem.

YOu can also Configure RAID/JBOD on the new sony vaio VPCZ1 SSD. RAID 0 provides faster read/write speeds and JBOD configuration support gain TRIM. Hence i would be say that just use this configuration based RAID 0 and JBOD for installing the windows 8 Developer preview on your laptop. Its well for you.

I formatted my entire drive and install Windows 8. It works fine now and nothing wrong happen on it. I used the official copy of the windows 8 developer preview and must say that this will be not make any problem. But after accessing this win 8, i found that this is just beta version. It applies many restrictions for accessing number of features. Hence i would be say that you don't try to use the windows 8. Windows 7 is still best. wait for the full version of the windows 8.
