Thank you for the help. One last question. I had a brand new never
used older 250gb seagate 7200.8 drive. I tried to install it in
place of one of the WD 128's. I wasnt sure of jumper settings so the
"new" 250 Seagate I left as "cable select" and the old 128 WD I set
as "slave". Disk utilities saw both and I formatted them. Did I do
it right or should the Seagate be "master"? I installed a fresh copy
of the OS on the 250 Seagate. Will anything be hurt if i leave it as
is?
Raid 0 seems like a much higher chance of failure since there is no
copy. I recently read reliability stats for different raid arrays
and I am glad Im not using it anymore. IDE drives are getting
expensive. I read the reviews of Carbon Copy and downloaded it.

two 128 gb hard drives arranged in a raid 0 array. There is only
15gb or so used but when I tried to copy some files onto the g4 it
said there was not enough hard drive space. But there is 200gb
available.
Could be the raid is corrupted.
Boot on your OS X DVD and use Disk Utility to repair the volume.
If that doesn't work, make a backup, re-initialize the drives -
preferrably as two normal HFS+Journal disks, then reload.
CarbonCopyCloner is our fav app for such backups. But Disk Utility
works too.
