(HDD sizes can differ). I've done this. However, I cannot do the same on vista - when I convert HDD with system partition into dynamic, vista won't boot. Tried many different ways - same result :( . don't have third sata hdd to try it with 3 drives. however, this is sad that in vista cannot do same stuf i could do in xp (vista ultimate) “Install two hard drives that are exactly the same in your computer (in addition to the hard drive Windows Vista’s running on)”

also the striped volume is not completly stable, if your going to do this get a raid controller for your computer. or if your motherboard is good then it will have 1 on the motherboard.

Seems that this is not possible with Vista Home Premium. If it is possible, I'd be very interested in knowing how this is done as a number of people have tried but it fails with an error each time. em You mention creating a striped volume with Vista.
