Thanks very much. Your step by step instructions are great -- very easy to folow! Sounds simple enough. I'll give it a go and see how it goes.

I read through the raid thread. After reading it I think I'd prefer to buy a new 500 GB drive and store the old as a spare. At a later date I could purchase another smaller drive to use as a data drive. It seems a new 500 GB drive will provide enough storage for now, and I like the peace of mind of having a spare.

Based on what I read in the raid thread, the process is the same as what you originally mentioned, I'd just skip the formatting step.

Thanks for pointing me to that thread. Having a spare is a great idea and the cost of a new 200 GB drive is relatively inexpensive now.

Thanks again.
