Sorting out my new RAID 0 configuration

Here's what I did:
I had a regular 74 GB raptor that has been my primary hard drive for a while.
I just bought a second.
I configured them in BIOS with RAID 0 and then I used Norton Ghost to put on image of the first disk on the new RAID Array.

Windows doesn't understand exactly what has happened. Under Disk Management it shows half the disk (the new one i assume) as "unpartitioned," so I can't use it.

I think the striping worked though, because BartPE's HDTune shows the combined disk, plus my read time has gone from 65 MBs to 90 MBs (whould't it have doubled?).

Anyway, I'm hoping you guys can help me get everything in order without having to reformat the new array (which would be a pain in the ass given how man programs I have).

When you rant ghost did it show one or two disks?

One thing that could have caused the half partition useage is you didnt span the image to the end of the volume.

I used partition magic to extend the partition to the full 148 GB and am now re-imaging the array with Ghost. No "span to end of volume" option was given in Ghost 9.0. Think this will work?
