Adding 2nd HD (RAID 0) using existing HD.

[lectrocrew]

My new build has been up and running great for about a week, but now I'm going to add another WD Velociraptor 150GB drive and set up a 'RAID 0' array using the primary "system" hard drive I already have (WD Velociraptor 150GB) and the new one. I also ordered Vista 64 bit OS and 4GB more of the same memory. Is there going to be a problem using the 'used' HD I have now when I configure the RAID '0' array because of the data already on the drive? Is there a proceedure I need to use to wipe the present disc clean. Keep in mind my present 32 bit OS is on the Velociraptor "system" drive, not the 1TB Barracuda Drive.

Thanks,
Mike

All data will be lost when you setup the RAID0. There's no need to wipe the used drive clean.

I thought that would be the case. Just trying to make plans and fore-see any problems. Everything has gone real smooth so far with this first build for me.
