final question.
How do I part my Raid 1 array ?
and have it as 2 seperate drives ?

You need a third drive and some software. Are these drives SATA or ATA?
If they are SATA, the only software I have had work reliably is Acronis.
If it's ATA, you could get the job done with a free utiity from your drive manufacturer.

every raid 1 I've ever delt with (which admittedly is only two or three), you can disable the raid functionality in bios, boot to one of the drives as a single drive, then format the other. bingo. two separate drives, one of which is blank. just make sure you keep track of which is which.
One of us interpreted his post incorrectly, probably me. He originally was talking of going from RAID 1 to 0. My response was with that understanding. Sorry if I misunderstood.
