Okay, well I think I might have RAID 0 installed. But when I go o my computer it says only one hard drive (640) is installed. When I start up my computer it shows my RAID nicknamed (performance).

So am I running RAID 0? I mean, I have noticed when I'm moving some of my larger files to it but I don't know.


Also, I do not want to downgrade to XP, I want to dual boot. IF there is a good how to on the net, that would be great!

It's no biggy if I don't get dual boot going but soon I will be running out of hard drive space (well not soon soon) but I just want to make sure my RAID is going before I start moving all my stuff from my external hard drive.
 
Yes, it should only show up as one harddrive. Check out how much space you have. If it's 1.2tb then you're good. If that's not the case then go into disk management and make sure you did not partition the space. If you made a partition and did not format the second one then windows would not show it available.

I'll just keep it as it is now. Once they figure out the solid state disks, maybe I'll invest in one of those.

Actually they are out right now, there is a bunch of different companies with some decent pricing. Check it out:

And a bunch more on there. I heard they perform great, the only disadvantage is that they can be only written to a certain amount of times.
