Good Advice Crazijoe. The more I learn about RAID the less likley I am to mess with it. But it appears that my computer documentation, Intel 82801FR controller hub and it's software all limit what changes I can make. When I refer to my computer's user guide it says the only changes I can make with the RAID-0 computer is
* change the RAID-0 configuration to RAID-1. or
* remove RAID configuration completely and use each indivdual separately.
When I reference this chart, it also confirms what I can do.

What would be the best solution in my case ,where I can change the RAID-0 to RAID-1 with my existing hdd's and still be able to make use of the new added hdd. As can be seen on my original post as Attached Images. (i tried to cut and paste it into this reply,but it wouldnt work)
Or Keep the RAID-0 the way it is and just use the new hdd as a non RAID hdd and use it as storage. Any thoughts?
The only reason I'm doing this is to gain more hard disk space. But not at the risk of creating problems. Originally I wanted to have all 3 drives on the same array. But at this point I will take what I can get.
