Right click on 'My Computer' icon on your desktop, choose 'Manage'

In 'Computer Management' window in a left-hand pane expand 'Storage' (if not already expanded) using '+' icon.

Click on 'Disk Management' & you should be fine!

Array could be A windows D or E so could Array C, as array A has 2 physical drives that are raid 1..... in windows D and E are the same size....there must be a way to link them up?

Dave, see attached screens.
First screen from system management homepage->Storage, second screen from computer management.
We see "OS name - disk2" on first screen and it is assosiated with "Disk 2" on second screen.
