== 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 the [[Creating and Managing Simple and Spanned Volumes on Windows Server 2008]] chapter of this book.

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:
