    I just did a fresh install of Vista on my g50vt a2 after I disabled raid, but now I only have one hard drive being used. How can I get other to be used again? Is it because I chose option 1 when reinstalling Vista? Thanks

    You'll need to repartition and reformat your second drive. The partition info gets spread across a RAID 0 stripe just like regular data, so it is half gone and totally unusable once you break teh stripe.
