Yesterday I set up a RAID 0 array w/ 2 of the Western Digital 80 Gig Hard drives w/ 8 MB cache.. my first raid ever.
All was well when I finally got windows installed, and I had to install it again after I copied files I had on my old hard drive to the new raid, so that I could format the old one instead of having partitions on it.
ANYWAY... Today I was copying files back FROM my RAID0 Drives onto my old hard disk (primary master)
and after I'm all said and done, I'm missing a lot of gigabytes
For instance, my G partition is about 55 gigs in size, it reports 32.2 GB free, but I'm only using up about 3.5 gigs
This happened to my H drive as well, and to a lesser extent my C and D Drives (Windows is on the D Drive, C is my old hard disk)
What is eating up my space and how do I get it back
Also, I'm using a KR7A-Raid, and my other hard disk is a 60 gig IBM 7200 rpm.
Win XP home
Athlon xp 1800
I tried to use norton disk doctor but it did nothing.
They are in a RAID 0 Array
I just tested cutting a file from C (the primary hard drive on the IDE) to my D Drive on the RAID, and it cut the file, but I didn't get any space back, and it did take up space on my RAID
I tried copying it back, but it just ate more space
