My system currently has two RAID1 arrays - one is the bootable volume of 2x80GB, the other is 2x500GB for storage only.
I need to reformat and reinstall XP Pro on the first one. I would like to avoid making any changes to the second one (2x500GB storage) if possible.
#1 Do I need to install my 3rd party RAID driver as I did the first time BEFORE reinstalling XP Pro, or can I skip this step since it is already installed?
#2 If I unplug the two 500GB drives, then reinstall XP Pro on the first two, again as a RAID1 bootable volume, can I then plug the other two back in and use the data they contain?
Thanks for your help.
