[phreak61]

be patient im new and a bad speller!!

I have a abit nf7-s2 motherboard (not the problem) and i have a 40 gig and 120 gig idee hard drive. i cloned the xp pro and all the program files from the 40gig to the 120 gig drive. when i did so something happened to my two 160 gig sata drives. they where setup to run as one (raid 0 ?) and now xp is telling me that they are 2 drives. when i boot up the computer there is a program to set up the drives and it says that they are healthy! please help !!

You can delete a RAID 0 array and recreate it as many times as you want wihtout losing any data as long as 1) you make absolutely no changes to either drive and 2) you use the exact same settings.

If for instance you allowed XP to initizile/format/check for and correct errors then there will be trouble.

Possible Causes
1) RAID for those channels got disabled in the bios, check to see if they are enabled.
2) Someone the array configuration was deleted.
3) You connected one drive without the other at some point.

Questions
Why are you using RAID 0? Is there some particular reason why you need increased performance out of those 160's (like editing large amounts of unencrypted video files)
