Hi, 2 weeks ago i got a new WD 37gig Raptor drive and decided to put my OS and games on it.What a freaking awsome drive it is!
All my parents stuff went on to the Maxtor UltraATA133 80gig drive.After putting the OS, Call of Duty, FarCry, BF1492, BFviet, UT2004, and my documents(these porgrams are must for this drive) on it i find i used up ALOT of space. I would like to buy another one to run in RAID and get more storage but i do not have the money. So i was wondering if i buy a Serial ATA converter to use for the 80gig, i could run in RAID and increase storage room?yes.. no..?
 
OH yes my system is as follows...
Athlon64 3200+
MSI K8T Neo FiSR (onboard Via SATA/RAID 0,1)
Kingmax Hardcore 512 pc4000
80gig Maxtor
37gig Raptor
9800pro 128mb
TechnoPro case w/ 7x80mm and shiny lights (recommend this case to anyone! raise case an inch then add a fan to top and one to bottom for fun project)
 
Clean boot and drill down to c:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Temp (Hidden), delete everything there; make sure you don't have Hibernation enabled. This may reclaim a few Gigs of space.

Errrrr NO!
That won't work, you need two identical drives.
Copy and paste all your Documents onto the Maxtor 80gig, just leave the O/S and games on the Raptor.

Start by questioning and soon you will be answering.
So please take but remember to return and give when you can.
 
thank you satrow, i disabled hibernation and moved all my documents to the 80 gig(ty paparazi).My Raptor now has 20.1gigs free space.
