lost capacity to RAID 0
I had a raid 0 mirror with 2 30 gig drives. One died and all I had was a 40
gig to replace it. Now I want to start over and build a mirror with 2 40 gig drives using the one 40 gig that was in the 30 gig RAID. The only problem is that that 40 gig drive now only reads as 30 gig when I go to install a clean Windows 2000 on it. The question is how do I get a 40 gig drive that was altered by a 30 gig RAID setup back to 40 gigs again? Hank |

Run the HD mfg's diagnostics in the mode where it writes all zeroes(writes the whole drive with something) to the drive. |
