i got a hand me down optiplex 990 with two HDD in it, i put them in raid 0 with the intel RST driver that was on the machine, now i wanna stick Linux Mint on one of the hard drives. would this fuck up the raid?
>>
>>54430510
ah,
how so would it fuck up the raid?
>>
>>54430547
it wouldn't..
but you shouldn't put an OS on a raid, usually. especially the raid0.. if either one of those dies rip your os & everything else
>>
>>54430577
oh, well crap.
i dont wanna go through the rigamaroll if installing drivers on the hdds.
>>
>>54430617
raid1 them then if 1 drive dies the other takes over

and your setups will not die

or at least back the raid0 up to a different drive
>>
>>54430577
and dubs

>>54430352
You have to migrate your raid to single drive first so you can use the second one for linux.
>>
>>54430652
im going to go see what the options are in the pre OS loading raid config, but i installed everything to one drive as far as i know.
>>
ideally just partition one of the drives and put the OS on there and then raid0 the majority of that drive with the full of the other drive, this is really stupid but sounds like what you want to do lol
>>
>>54430693
but they're already in RAID0. and i cant delete it without kissing the OS already installed goodbye

im on the moble version of the tread on my phone so i can keep u guys posted.
>>
there wasnt much in terms of options that didn't want to kick out my data, maybe il mess around with partitions.
>>
>>54431021
That won't help you. Raid0 spans all data across both drives.
>>
>>54431021
well then, there isnt much i can do,
>>
>>54431021
>>54431068
this. you'll need a third drive to get the data off before partition
>>
>>54431109
well, this is a bit of a brick wall.
>>
>>54431185
1) make a system image to an external drive using Acronis,
2) dismantle the raid,
3) restore the image to a single hard drive,
4) do with the second one as you please.

Yes, it's a bit of work.
>>
>>54431332
would a thumb drive work? i have a 16 gig one lying around
>>
>>54431351
If it's gonna fit on that, sure, why not.
>>
>>54431332
what version of acronis?
>>
>>54431443
You can't be serious.
>>
>>54431492
found it nmv.
