| | W7 Software RAID 1 and Non OS Drives Hi Everyone, Quick question, I have two 1.5TB WD HDs that I am going to use soley for storage, these will not be for the OS drive. If I place them in a Windows 7 Software RAID 1 configuration, and say my main OS drive was to fail. I would have to rebuild my OS drive on a new HD. Now when I do this, will the new install of Windows 7 I do at the time pick up my previous Windows 7 Software RAID 1 for my storage drives or do I lose the array? I am scared that if I lost my OS drive, my R1 storage array would go as well if Windows 7 keeps some kind of settings or configuraiton to manage the array. |
