Hi,
On a software RAID may be you can see partition table through some
partition manager software.
I found the information bellow on a website:
"A RAID-5 volume is a fault-tolerant volume whose data is striped
across an array of three or more disks. Parity (a calculated value that
can be used to reconstruct data after a failure) is also striped across
the disk array. If a physical disk fails, the portion of the RAID-5
volume that was on that failed disk can be re-created from the remaining
data and the parity. A RAID-5 volume cannot be mirrored or extended."

Hope helpful!

I've got a Windows 2003 Server. I have several 500gig hard drives
assembled
into a software RAID5 array. This array works well.
I've just installed a new 500gig hard drive into this PC. It comes up
in the
Disk Manager and I was able to convert it to a dynamic disk, but I
can't
figure out how to add this drive to the array.
I was able to do this the last time I added a drive to the PC, but I do
not
remember how.
How do you expand a RAID5 array after installing a new hard drive into
the
system???
Also, a related question... How can you see how big a single partition
assigned to a RAID5 array is? How can I see what size to allocate on
the new
drive to match othe existing drives in the array?
All help is appreciated!!!
