Thanks for the answer,
I have problems with DeviceIoControl(). I don't know how to get a handle for 
the second disk. Because the System see the 2 disks as one. I think the 
problem is the Raid Controller?
VDS I have a look on it, but the function I think they are right require 
Vista. Or I am false? Correct me please.

Thanks for any help
Paul
