yesterday i changed my hard drives from two sata wd 2500 in raid 0 to a single raptor 150. i did a fresh xp install on the raptor which went okay, but when i tried to use each of the wd 2500 as separate storage drives (not in raid 0) i could only format one of the drives. the drive i could not format reported an incorrect disc volume of around 450 gb which previously was the total striped raid 0 volume. the drive i could format reported a correct disc volume of around 250. i used disk manager in xp to re-format the drives.
has anybody encountered this when using drives previously in raid 0 as single storage drives? is there a way to salvage the drive that won't format? thanks.
