Adding 2nd HD (RAID 0) using existing HD.
« on: April 11, 2009, 10:17:35 AM »
My new build has been up and running great for about a week, but now I'm going to add another WD Velociraptor 150GB drive and set up a 'RAID 0' array using the primary "system
" hard drive I already have (WD Velociraptor 150GB) and the new one. I also ordered Vista 64 bit OS and 4GB more of the same memory. Is there going to be a problem using the 'used' HD I have now when I configure the RAID '0' array because of the data already on the drive? Is there a proceedure I need to use to wipe the present disc clean. Keep in mind my present 32 bit OS is on the Velociraptor "system" drive, not the 1TB Barracuda Drive.

Thanks,
Mike  :)
