I guess you need an xp64 driver for your raid card on floppy or whatever on windows startup. If you don't supply the right driver, windows will mess up your raid array big style by treating the 2 drives as separate drives.

If you don't have this driver, your only solution is to back the data up on another drive and then break your raid and reformat the 2 drives separately.

How much of the 400 gig is actually used?
