Hard Drive Issue

[Acoshi]

I bought 2 new 120 gig hard drive and installed it in my computer just about a week ago. And I wanted to RAID the drives together and so after alot of research I chose RAID 0. Now the problem is that when I finshed Raiding the drives it only showed half of my total hard drive space, so instead of 240 gigs it only showed 120 gigs.

The question is that I want the computer to recognize the other 120 gigs and so I would have to insert the WinXP cd and get into that setup. But I already added things to the drive and I don't want to have to reformat in order for the computer to recognize the other 120. Can I add the other 120 gigs and still keep all my data? If I can how would I go about doing that?

Sounds like you accidentally made a RAID1 or a mirrored set.

what happened was I accidentally patitioned only once instead of twice so I guess it partitioned only 120 gigs. I was wondering if I can still add another partition without losing my present data on my first partition.

yeah, im assuming you have a windows install working properly so right click my computer and go to 'manage' and then under disk manager you should have some options.

if all else fails either get partition magic or backup & format...
