    new HDD's, how do I move windows to it?

    I have a RAID 0 of two 160GB sata's and a 30GB partition for windows XP

    I want to move my windows XP installation from my old drive..

    I have norton ghost.., so can I just copy it over to the new partition?
    my concern is will all my drives be correct.., seeing as this is a RAID 0, and everthing and that I want it to be the C drive now, instead of the current C drive...

    it just seems like something is going to go wrong here.., but I really don't want to do a clean install..

    thanx in advanced,
    Byan

    I don’t think Ghost will recognize Raid. I think Drive Image might…
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Ghost definitely cannot be used with RAID drives. As Steve said, the now defunct Drive Image would (though I found it total rubbish in all other respects ), if you can find a copy. Possibly Acronis True Image will work also, I'm not sure about that one.

    Drive Image by powerquest?
    its not being sold anymore, is it?
    hmmm..

    also, http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...P&osv=&osv_lvl

    it says that it might work with some hardware RAIDs (just not supported)..., so I think I may try it, I have nothing to lose..

    also, I have ghost 9.., and if ghost 9 is derived from drive image, shouldn't it work?

    I am looking up some stuff on true image, and it seems like raid does work on it..., I think I am going to get a copy of it...
