Hi. I searched many forums, and read many topics but couldn't find an answer to my situtation. I have a running windows 7 64bit on a raid configured single hard drive (on a p45 ICH10R chipset mainboard). I'd like to set up a raid matrix array with 2 raids on 2 hard disks. I have 2 identical 500 gb hdd and would like to use 100 gb of them for raid0 and the remaining space for raid1. I guess this is possible using intel matrix storage manager, but I don't know what to do first as I do have data on my first hard drive and don't want to lose them. I have two partitions now, one for windows and one for my data; and I'd like to have my system partition on raid0 and my data partition on raid1. Is this possible without os reinstallation? Thank you very much for your help guys.

You would have to start over and start up the arrays then install the OS.

any chance with imaging softwares like acronis true image? If I backup the image of the disk to an external one and start up the array from scratch from bios (ctrl+i) and rewrite the image to my newly created raid array, is there any chance it'd work?
