Hard Drive configuration ? for Video Capture

Hi,

I have a dell Precision 490, I think it is. I just got a few months
ago the Blackmagic Intensity Pro Capture card. I am currently trying
to capture from a VCR in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 about 1.5 hours of
video. The computer has (2) 500 GB 7,200 RPM SATA drives in a Raid 0
configuration. My problem is that Premiere Pro seems to capture the
Video but when I hit ESC to stop recording Premiere will not save the
file. No dialog box comes up. Other than that I get no other error
messages. I have tried a one minute or so test file and that works
Ok. I am tring to capture in the Uncompressed 8 Bit Blackmagic
Format. The drives are about 60% full.

I hear a lot about that one should use one drive for the OS and one
for Video. How can I configure this setup using RAID? Can I use the
RAID controller as the Second drive and a non RAID drive as the OS
drive? I can not find much information on this setup.

Thanks in advance for your help,

John
