Re: raid 5 configuration

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

No, that is just what is says it is, unalocated space.

What is the size of the individual disks?

The only way to "reclaim" the space is to resize the partitions, you would
either need a third party program or a re-install to do that.

Hi
I have a RAID 5 configuration which is set up as follows:
31MB (ESIA configuration) partition
C: 14.65 GB (Apps) partition
E: 15.01 GB (User data) partition
Unallocated 38.04 GB
Everything is working fine and I assume that the unallocated space is used
for parity info. The disks are all basic disks. I was wondering if I
would
be able to reclaim some disk space from the unallocated space in the
future
if needed?
Thanks
william
