do you understand raid0?
Raid requires similar size drives, and preferably similar types of drives. If it would even work what you will have created there is a 480GB partition (240 ssd + 240 of the HDD), and the rest of the hdd goes to waste. And as raid0 is striping, a file would be split between the SSD and the HDD meaning that when writing or reading, 1/2 the file would be written quickly, and the other half slowly.
No idea what's happened in your circumstance, but in no way should you be using raid of any kind with those drives, and you shouldn't bother raiding with SSDs anyway, as there is little to no benefit.

You need to study up on what RAID 0 is and isn't.
Twice the size of the smallest (the SSD) and the speed of the slowest (the HDD). In addition to a whole host of other issues.
Those 2 drives will not work.
Undo whatever RAID thing you did, and start over. No RAID at all.
The SSD for your OS and applications. The HDD for other stuff.
