RAID Striping and JBOD Question

I just set up my SATA Drive and had to go under nForce's RAID Utility to set it up. At the time I did not know what settings to select so I choose RAID 0 (Striping).
I installed XP using the 3rd party drivers, changed BIOS to boot on SATA Drive, and everything seems to be working fine.
I then was reading the back part of my manual (yes.. I play first, read manual later 😛 ) but I found a part then when setting up a single drive, I should choose the JBOD option.

My question is since I am using a single drive, will the RAID 0 option interfear with anything down the road and do I need to reset the RAID funtion or can I leave it as is and since I only have 1 Drive set up for RAID 0, it will work fine.

Thanks!
 
If you only have one drive there is no need for any RAID options. Please do a search if you have any question about raid but here are the basics. For all of these you need at least 2 or more drives.

Raid 0: Data is split between two drives.
Improves access rates and transfer speed
If one drive fails all info is lost

Raid 1: Keeps identical copies of data on each drive
Improves reliability since data is on each drive
About the same speed as a single drive

Raid 01: mix of Raid0 and Raid1

JBOD: Take one drive and append it to the end of another drive.
Similar to raid 0 without the speed improvement
Good for two drives of different size which you would like to view as one drive.
