nope, unless there is something i'm unaware both drives must be formatted completely to correctly configure a RAID array of any type.

I think you have to start off with blank discs, RAID0? holy shit, hope you aren't gonna keep anything on it that is critical, speed will be awesome compared to a non-RAID system but be warned I got screwed when I lost a HD and therefore the whole array, spend some more money and go RAID 5
