Single drive to RAID0?

Here's a question, and I can't seem to find any non-stupid answers:

If I have a single drive, and want to get an exact match for it, how would I go about RAID0ing it? Using Win7.

The drive I want to do this on is a mechanical drive, and not the boot drive, but it'd be nice to know how to do it for a boot drive too.

The idea I have is to use Carbon Copy or something like that to copy the data onto a spare drive, format/RAID, then Copy back.

All you need to do is backup the existing data to a spare drive, add a second identical drive and create the raid0/1 of your choice, then restore the data to the new pair. Since this is not a boot volume it is easier. Additional problems occur when migrating from non-raid boot to raid boot because of the change in driver types and the possible change of controller as well.

OK, that's what I thought. Thanks for the info.
