Hello! Hoping one of your gangsta's can pass your knowledge of this matter on to me. I didnt want to steal the other guys post...
Last night I installed 2X250GB SATA II HDD's in RAID0 everything is cool...what I want to do is image this which I need to play around with a bit...My question is...For imaging testing purposes lets assume I get a good image of my C:\ which is part of the RAID.
If I want to test this image out on another SATA drive I will have to disconnect one of my SATA drives on my system to do so. Will this make me loose all my data or even RAID settings? I will most likely unplug both RAID drives to be safe...then disable RAID in BIOS. When I am done testing and plug these two drives back in set them back to SATA0 and SATA1 and enable RAID again..will it all be just the way I left it? Or will I loose it all? Never dealt with RAID much on a desktop only servers. thanks!
