[QUOTE="Noelix, post: 127849, member: 18535"] Depends on your motherboard, if it supports RAID or not. I've only set up a RAID on clean drives though, because you have to format it in Windows when it gets that new huge size. I have two 300GB sata drives in a spanned RAID so it shows up as one big 600GB drive. My motherboard supports RAID, and when I start up the computer it asks me to setup any raid drives by pressing a key. You can also set up a software raid if your motherboard doesn't support raid, but I haven't really toyed with it as I've heard it can be unstable. Also you can get raid cards, but I've tried that before and had problems because of the large drive size, but it could work. Your best setup would be to have a motherboard that supports raid and large hard drives, and two or more hard drives with nothing on them. Anyways, just thoughts for the future. Glad you managed to figure the issue out! Welcome to the MP community man. [/QUOTE]
