I have Vista home premium installed on my Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600 laptop. I have two 80GB hard drives with C:\ setup as a RAID drive.
After installing Vista the two drives show up as C:\ and E:\ whereas in XP Service Pack 3 they showed up as one spanned volume C:\ totalling 160GB. This is the way I want it to show up in Vista. My question then is how do I achieve this? My second hard drive was empty so I reformatted drive E:\ thinking that I would be given the option to create a spanned volume, but it is greyed out . . . When I open my Toshiba RAID console, it shows two hard drives but Drive C:\ or Disk 0 is listed as RAID whereas drive E:\ or Disk 1 is listed as "JBOD (Not RAID)".
I'm at a loss as to how to fix this and was also wondering if it is best to just leave it as it is. What are the advantages/disadvantages of setting up one RAID spanned drive?
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give!
