raid 0 means that their is no redundancy
the disks are seperate
ie you have 36 gb of useable space

you will need to see what volumes is on each physical disk

Regardless of your current problem/solutions...
You should at least put RAID 1 on there (mirroring). Better yet, fork out another couple hundred and add a 3rd drive and put on RAID 5.
You are taking big chances with your current setup. I especially hope you don't have one volume spanned across both drives. That can get ugly when trying to do an upgrade.
