Hello,
I set up a fujitsu snergy server with two 500gb hdd. I setup RAID 0 on the first disk but that was all. The system shows i am using only 500GB. Not sure what i have done. What i would like to do is set it to RAID1 to mirror the first HDD
 
You can't set up a RAID 0 with just a single drive so I'm not sure what you did. Is this going to be a boot drive? If so, the array needs set up before the OS is installed.

1. Go into the raid bios to setup and configure the raid. This will allow you to pick which drives to include in the array and wether to mark it bootable or not.

2. Install the OS. The array should appears as a single drive at this point. If you set up raid 0, you should see a 1Tb (2x 500Gb) drive. If you set up a raid 1, you should see just a single 500gb drive.

3. If this is XP, you will need to use the "F6 add additional drivers" to install the raid drivers during the install process. Unfortunately, XP only allows installation of additional drives from a floppy drive.
