Raid 0 - Recovering to single HDD
This may be a banal question but I am a newbie with no experience of raid
installations My friend has a pc with two 300GB discs configured as a Raid 0 array - partioned into C: and D: He would like to add a third hard disc and still keep the original two disc array - Is this possible If not he is considering the following: Back up the raid array to an external HDD Remove the raid driver Restore the back up to C: and D: Drives Then install the third HDD If the back up was taken with a disk imaging program, such as Acronis, would it restore 'correctly' ? Regards & TIA
