first I dont know shit about RAID or anything like that.
Second my friend gave me his laptop to fix because it was being a bitch and wouldn't boot it says the operating system not found and before start up there are 2 arrays array 1 is functioning while array 2 is off line. So i read some stuff online, and it got pretty confusing. and they said to ctrl + F to enter the fastboot shit w.e and delete the array and recreate it which I did and it went from offline to function. My friends laptop is capable of holding 180 gb array 1 is 60 gb and array 2 suppose to be 120 gb but got funked down to 80 when I recreated it, dont know how and dont know why. I wanted to remake that partition to 120 gb but didnt find any good shit on google or i may just be looking at the wrong stuff. But anyways carry on I tried to install the RAID controllers by using the Win XP disc I have pressing F6 b4 installation but it wont recognize that f*ckin RAID shit so im stumped I need some help. |

But why do you want to do RAID 1 with two unequal-sized disks? The usable portion of the bigger disk will only be the same as the smaller disk, anyway. |
