Can I do this with RAID-0?

Can I only have part of my 2 drives on RAID-0, and leave the rest as non raid?

I just want swap files and photoshop temp on RAID, and I can't find the answer anywhere. Is this possible?
 
I can't speak for software RAID, since I never used it, but no hardware-based RAID I've ever used--whether SCSI, ATA, or SATA--will let you do that. Those RAID arrays are created at physical drive level, not at logical partition level.
 
Thanks. I'm looking into doing it with Dynamic Discs in XP-Pro.. though I'm still not sure if I can do it there either.
 
OK, here's a link to MS KB article that discusses software-based RAID. Note, however, it talks about RAID-1 (mirrored), not RAID-0 (striped), and further states that this is not available for XP Pro. Since you're talking about Photoshop swap files, I assume you're looking for RAID-0 performance boost, not data redundancy with RAID-1.

I read it, and it does look like I'm out of luck with my current hardware and XP-Pro. Thanks for replying and helping me finally put this question to bed. I've been searching for the last couple days.
