[quote]Thanks again,

1)I do usually read what people post so there isn't any need to repeat yourself with me unomernot...

2)I had to experiment a bit to get the command syntax correct, I found it was not as easy to figure out as a lot of commands.......

3)Note that I said "figure out". I need to explain. When I started learning to fly, My CFI stressed the importance of how we tend to retain those first learnt concepts which are so important, they form our basic behaviour and attitudes towards what we are doing....

4)My PC culture was established by obtaining hardware in a remote area and with no telephone, internet or peer assistance....

5)So, that culture is so absolutely embedded...
.... sad isn't it?

6)This is a serious barrier to my learning capacity,....
(Fortunately for me, my initial flight training was extremely sound and that serves me well.)

7)Back to my RAID array..... I was trying to attempt an installation of a dynamic, striped RAID volume without ANY hardware or third party software support. This was an unprecedented success until I wanted to boot and install from the array, then it became quite a different matter...

8)I admitted failure after an unusually short time, (my wife pressuring me to spend some time doing "other" jobs around here instead)...

9)...doing a QUICK format on the install partition during the Windows installation routine, instead of selecting "leave this file system intact and install Windows without formatting" or whatever it says in that option.

10)Is there a way to convert the strip/chunk/block size while keeping the bootable installation intact?
(the correct terminology escapes me, it's early morning here
