Just a quick question I'm starting to think about getting a second HDD to
match my current on installed, I'm then thinking of making them RAID, but I
my question is if I already have Vista Ultimate 32-bit installed would I need
to re-install it? I have no problem doing it it would just save so much time
and hassle from my other half if I loss files (which I've done twice and she
has not been a happy bunny about it lol)

Cheers all.
 
You can but it is complicated. Microsoft has a tech instruction on how to do
it. What if you asked your better half what files to back up on a mem stick
or cd. Then raid the hard drives and install Windows again. You might have to
install a raid driver depending on what chipset you have.
 
the chipset is Intel® ICH7DH Chipset, there are drivers on the MSI website so
I'm guessing I'll have to reinstall, cheers any how. and wish me luck lol
 
If you are just going to do Raid with Spanning or Striping you are wasting
your time re data recovery.
You will have to Mirror them!
