Ok - most important - 
Have established a 4 drive array (raid5). The controller will let me add
additional drives to the array. I have about 300G of data currently on the
drive.
So I plan to add 2 drives.

Once windowsXP restarts will what will happen?
-Will I have to re-initialize the  drive (the array)?
-Will I have to re-format the drive or will it inherit the drive mapping
structure from the initial formatting?


------------------
Any problems with the following options selected?
------------------

Write Policy options: WriteThru or WriteBack. 
Have it set to WriteThru.

Read Policy
Options: Adaptive Read Ahead -or- Read Ahead -or- Normal
Have it set to Adaptive Read Ahead

Cache Policy
Options: Caching I/O -or- Normal
Have it set to Caching I/O


If it matters no battery backup on the controller but the computer has an
UPS.
Cache on the controller - 128 meg

Thanks
