I don't really NEED to do this, but was considering it, if it didn't require a re-install of Windows.
I have RAID 1 setup on two 40 GB drives. I now have two more identical 40 GB drives... Can I change my array to 0+1 without losing data or having to start over?

I think it depends on the controler. If there is an optoion in the controlers BIOS to rebuild a mirrored set (or some language close to that) then you might be able to.
2 40GB HDDs?? Where do you keep all your p0rn???  |

Well... The SI 680 card I was using was annoying... Always dropping a drive and lowering drives from UDMA6 to UDMA5... The two Maxtors I had die recently were both on this controller, too...
So, when the array died all together last night, I just ripped it out for a Promise card and went ahead an reformatted and went to 0+1
