If we need to install Windows Server 2008 R2 OS it does not requires any drivers.
RAID is used for redundancy and Higher performance.
no
The F6 key.
yes
Installation of such drivers is common mode hardware drivers copied to a floppy disk, so that when the system starts to install press F6, then the system will load for you in the driver diskette. This driver diskette must have a root directory called Txtsetup.oem file, it will tell the installer how to install the SCSI, RAID card driver
YES
Depends on the raid controller. Windows 7 includes a awefull lot of drivers, so it probably will just work without reinstalling the drivers.
It is relatively easy to replace Raid one drive with a larger Raid one drive. You must turn off your system, and take out the drive, and place the larger drive in its place. Next, you turn on the system, and install the larger drive.
Any. You should have appropriate drivers for your hardware RAIDs.

Hardware RAID 0 is basically a controller card that controls the RAID functions such as a SCSI RAID config. Some motherboards come with RAID functionality built in the motherboard. If you have a RAID adapter in your computer and want a RAID 0 configuration with no data protection. You must download software from the RAID adapter manufacture, usually a bootable CD and run the configuration program at boot up using the CD. Keep in mind that this procedure will destroy any data on the drives. Listed below is a list of abbreviated possible configuration types. Raid 0 - No data protection Raid 1 - One drive mirrored to another Raid 5 - Multiple drives combined together with data protection. Make sure you backup your data first...
