Ok, not sure if this would work or not but i hope someone here knows the answer.

Now i have a 40gb and a 200gb WD hdds, both same speed and spec just dif sizes. What i would like to know is if i could take a my 40gb and raid it with a partion on my 200gb(same sized partition ofcourse :p) and still have acess to the other 160gb?

Im thinking the only way you could do this is with software raid. Like creating an 160 GB partition (actual size would be smaller) and 40GB on the large drive, install WinXP Pro or 2K pro, on that 160GB partition, convert to dynamic disk, and create a software raid 0 volume on the 40GB and the 40GB partion in Disk Management.
