    Hey, i bought an asus g51vx-a1 from xoticpc and it arrived with two 320Gb partitioned harddrives. I was wondering if anyone knew how to unpartition them? And what is the Data D drive?

    What do you want to do with them? RAID 0 or RAID 1? With RAID 0 you could have 640GB as one drive letter plus get faster hard drive performance. The trade off is either drive fails and you're screwed so backing up to an external drive is important.

    I setup RAID 0 and used Paragon Partition Manager to make a 100GB C: Drive for the OS and apps, and 540GB E: Drive for my downloaded files and games.
