Hi,
I have a Dell Precision 380 with 2 HD (160GB seagate & 250GB Maxtor - sata drives) that were in a RAID 1 (mirror) configuration.
I wanted to upgrade the HD space so i popped out the 160GB drive and put in a 250GB drive. The computer started and rebuilt the RAID. I didn't realize that the RAID would still be only 160GB.
So what do i do now? If i try to remove the RAID from the RAID utility (Ctrl -I) it tells me that i'll loose all data. I've read in some forums that this warning isn't actually true and that i can remove the RAID and the data will still be there.
Any help is appreciated!
