The whole concept behind Raid mode striping is that everything gets split equally between the two drives...So you, you have to start with a fresh clean install of Windows.

Do you know that if you do this and one drive goes bad you loose everything?

yes the clean instal of windwos is no problem but I'm intresd if I lose the content of my acutual partition when I go from non RAID to RAID mode striping config, ather the config I wil stil have my games movie ant ather on the hdd or it will be al gone ?

EVERYTHING will be deleted. It is just like reformatting the drives.
