2 Questions about my new setup.

[Joni Nitro]

I have a Raid 5 setup with a Highpoint 2220, and another 160gb maxtor for just OS and apps. If I reinstall XP will my Raid 5 be recognized after I reinstall drivers are software? Windows is acting weird and for me its easy just to reinstall the OS and see if that helps.

Also, I still have 2 open ports on the 2220. Can I add two more drives to my raid without redoing the entire setup or will it just add it to what there? Thanks

Yes, after driver install your raid should be recognized again. According to this, your card is capable of adding drives (apparently without even taking the array down, I love RAID ). However, you will need to get a partition editor to expand the filesystem that is on your array.
