This is the curent setup on my computer and it works fine now thanks to the help of experts-echange. I do have a final question on thiis setup.
When I started up my computer I went into computer management and found that disk 1 (raid to drive 0) was marked as failed so I tried to reactivate it and when that did not work I basically deleted the data and removed the disk from the logical drive manager. When i rebooted the computer and looked at the RAID startup page it showed that the raid volume was mounted normally and both drives where member drives working normally. Question is...... IS IT? is the second raid drive actually working or is the data gone. The drive no longer appears on the Logical drive management service window in Computer management which for me is fine as it would appear redundant there. Can i be assured that the drive 1 is operational? How would i check this out?

Ah, well then the intel matrix storage manager won't be of much use, haha. You need to install the VIA Raid tool...its available from their website
http://www.via.com.
Just download the driver package for your controller. The utility is included...you just need to install it :)
Scratch that...use the Jmicron RAID configurer. Download the driver package from the asus support site (JMicron JMB363 RAID Driver)...the installation package for the raid tool is under application. If you haven't already done so, install the raid driver.

What controller are you using? Looking back into your raid question, looks like you have the P5K-E, correct? If so, it looks like you're using the onboard intel raid controller. Go to Intel's website and download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. The health of your array will be clearly identified. As a reminder, your array is supposed to look like one single disk in disk management. The question, however, is if you properly setup your RAID 1. Did you use Windows or the intel matrix storage manager option rom (during boot)?
