I was playing with getting rid of my BIOS RAID 0 and using AHCI. This would destroy the RAID 0 meaning I'd have to create a software RAID with Windows.
After converting to AHCI and doing a clean install of Windows, however, I was unable to do so in Disk Management.Both drives are identical, except the C:\ had the OS on it. It shows the other drive as unallocated space. The option for creating a striped or spanned volume is not available.
I shrunk the C:\ to have more unallocated space on the drive with the OS. This presented a few issues:
- Right-clicking the unallocated space on either drive, the striped volume was no clickable. However, the Window that comes up didn't allow me to select the other drive's unallocated space.
- Spanned volume was now also clickable, but same thing: couldn't select the unallocated space on the other drive.
Is what I was trying to do even possible (shrinking the C:\ and combing that unallocated space with a 2nd unallocaed drive)? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Would it make any difference if unallocated the space on the C:\ during install of the OS as opposed to using Disk Manager after the install?
