i mean, can i use raid 0 only with partial space of harddisk? say,
only 100MB of harddrive, and other partitions use as usual?

Hi Leonchik,

RAID 0 is called stripe set. Identical drives are recommended for
performance as well as data storage efficiency so it is recommended
that you use not just the same make and size but even the same model
number.

You need a minimum of two drives to form a RAID 0. The disk array data
capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the smallest
member capacity. For example, one 1GB and three 1.2GB drives will form
a 4GB (4 x 1GB) disk array.

(1) should both of disks have one partition only, or i can split them
to several partitions?

Ans: Only one partition is required.

2)can i use ghost with raid 0?
Ans: Yes it can be used with ghost. I recommend you check out with the
ghost software vendor, as some versions may have issues.

3)does raid 0 uses the whole space of hd?
Ans: Yes it uses whole space

I recommend you have a look at the below Website for a graphical view
of RAID implementation.

Yes to both parts of your question.

You can have mult. paritions, or you may have one.

You an use ghost, or any imaging software on a raid system.  This is
because the controller makes the drives appear "as one."
