Hey :-)
Send me an e-mail, I can't say we'll get it completely sorted, but I'll give it a shot :-)
I can't say I know everything, but I recently managed to get 2x 80GB PATA HDD running RAID1 (looks like 160GB), then get that RAID1 array plus a 160GB SATA HDD into another 320GB RAID1 array - don't ask :-P
A RAID1 is actually a mirror - so two 80GB harddisks in a RAID1 will present a single 80 GB volume. You've possibly used RAID0, which so named because it offers zero protection against disk faults. See http://www.wlug.org.nz/RAID for more information. Unfortunately for the OP, taking an existing install on a single disk and converting it to a software RAID1 set under linux is fairly tricky to do. There are howtos around, but it's time consuming and potentially dangerous, and it's definitely easy and probably quicker to reinstall the machine and set up RAID1 from within the installer (even the Debian Sarge installer supported this, btw).
