Hi there,

i have been running windows XP pro on my system for about 3 years now.
The OS is installed on a partition of my RAID 0 drive. The rest of the
RAID has music and data on it that i would like to keep. I need to
reinstal my xp (performamce has dissapeared completely!)... My
question is... Will reinstalling the OS mean that I lose my data on
the rest of the raid drive (the data is on a separate partition...)?

Thanks for your help

Simon
 
In theory, as long as you don't format the data partition the data should
still be there, but if it's that important you should have a backup,
especially on a striped array, if one of the drives fails, you've lost all
the data.
