Hi,
Ive bought a used XPS.
I have found out its got RAID 0 hard drive
(its fast and good for gamers but cant recover from it, basically stores data over 2 HDD but splits it)
Can I put a partition on this?
(so only stores on 1 drive and so i can recover files if something goes wrong)
Or would it be better to delete RAID and reinstall Vista or windows 7?
I will be video editing and using internet, not planning yet on using it as gamers pc.
any help appreciated.
