Hi
I have an ICH9R board and intel matrix storage. I previously had a 1TB drive with 250GB free (not partitioned). I added a second 250GB hard drive. Is it possible to create a raid1 volume (end of 1TB drive+full 250GB drive) without loosing all my data on the other 750GB of the drive? I don't see how to do it in the matrix storage console.
I know it's possible to do this with software raid but vista doesn't support software raid-1.


If it's not possible, can I backup my data, create a 250GB raid1 array in the BIOS, and create an other 750GB partition during vista setup for less critical files or this space will be lost forever?



thanks
