Help with SATA Raptor install

Ok, I'm currently running an ABIT KV8-Max3 with 2 Western Digital ATA 200 gig hd's using raid 0. I have a 10 gig partition on this as my boot partition with my OS installed.

I've ordered 2 SATA 36 gig Raptor hd's and one came in and I want to go ahead and use it as my main boot drive. I've installed the drive and Windows XP Pro sees it and I went in under Disk Management and partitioned it and formatted the drive.

Now the real question...how can I copy my current 10 gig partition to the new Raptor drive and make the Raptor drive my boot drive?

I made a backup of my 10 gig using Drive Image, but when I boot up with drive image, it will not see the SATA hd. :(
 
Have you installed the appropriate SATA drivers yet? Windows does not natively support SATA yet.
 
On the Intel chipset boards, XP will see the SATA drive without any special drivers during the install. It's only when you configure them in a RAID array that you need the drivers.

I would not Ghost the partition to the Raptors. Your going from different controllers, which use different resources, and from an array to a single drive. I wouldn't trust that to boot at all. Your safest bet is to backup the data and do a fresh install.
