Easiest way I found is to rename or delete the existing templates before
a restore, but if you haven't done a bunch of customization you might as
well use the fresh ones instead.

This time i did not go the secondary storage route as I was having a
miserable time trying to get it to work, for whatever reason I seem to
understand diagrams of LVM but when it comes to putting the whole thing
together, esp via terminal, i am not getting it.
So as a result, this time during the install I just selected both
drives... so i guess its in raid0?


Run "sudo pvs". If both physical volumes are in the same VG (probably
qubes_dom0), I believe that's the case.


So if i should reisntall, then I would need to install onto one drive,
then try to the secondary storage method?


Yes; I am happy to help if you get stuck.


Is there a way to use
something like the blivet-gui?


Maybe, but the less unnecessary software installed in dom0, the better...

Did you follow https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/ to set up
a secondary pool, or did you add your hard drive to the primary Qubes
pool/disk group? If you added the hard drive to existing, I think LVM
defaults to settings them both up as RAID0 (paging @tasket!). If that's
the case, you should probably do a wipe and reinstall.
