== Creating a Striped (RAID 0) Volume using Disk Management ==

The remainder of this chapter assumes that the disks in question have been converted from basic disks to dynamic disks. For details on performing this task refer to the initial sections of Chapter 12 - Creating and Managing Simple and Spanned Volumes on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Within the Disk Management tool right click on the unallocated space in the graphical view of the first disk to be used in the stripe set and select ''Create New Striped Volume...'' to invoke the ''New Striped Volume'' wizard. Click Next on the welcome screen to proceed to the disk selection screen. As mentioned previously, a striped set can be comprised of anywhere from 2 to 32 disk drives. For the purposes of this example the set will consist of two disks. Initially, the wizard only lists the currently selected disk in the Selected column. In order to proceed, at least one more disk is required. To add disks to the striped, select a suitable disk from the available disks in the right hand column and click on Add to add it to the selected disks list:
