== Creating a Striped (RAID 0) Volume using Disk Management ==
The remainder of this chapter assumes that the disks inm in question have been converted from basic disks to dynamic disks. For details on performing this task refer to the initial sections of the [[Creating and Managing Simple and Spanned Volumes on Windows Server 2008]]] chapter of this book.
In this section a striped volume will be created using two similarly sized disk drives connected to a Windows Server 2008 system (note that if the disks are of different sizes Windows will base the available volume size on the smallest disk drive in the striped arrayset).
Being Begin the process by invoking the Disk Management snap-in. This can be achieved by running compmgmt.msc in command prompt window or Run dialog and selecting Storage -> Disk Management. The system used in this example contains three disks numbered 0, 1 and 2. Disk 0 is the system disk and disks 1 and 2 will be used to created a striped set.
