Hello:
I recently created a raid volume with Intels V 3.5.0.2568 update and appears to be working fine 
Two serial ata drives on my XPS Gen 2 system. Disk management utility shows the size Basic Disk 0 online of my two drives. However; (C) is 1/2 or...the size of source disk when array was created. Also, "My Computer" also show volume size as (1) hard-drive. My question is: What is the safest way to create partition in the unallocated space. Ex: should I create a primary, or extended partition via Disk Management Utility?
Thanks...wr

Using the DiskManger would be the best way:
Should not really make any difference. I think your limited on 2 or 3 primary paritions where if you create a extended parition you can create many logical drives in it. A primary parition could also allow you to install another OS to boot to.
If you going to make it one parition for all the remaining space I think a Primary would be in order. One think to note if you want the new parition as "D" you have to re-assign the drive letter of you "CD" to another letter.

Thank you for the info. I did use disk management utility to utilize the unallocated space. Worked like a charm. A Raid 0 configuration with 0 fault tolerance is ok by me, as I backup important files regularly CDs.
Thanks again for your help.
