I'm totally new with this multiple hard drive thing but i have a reasonable goal in mind. I have 2 western digital 320gb drives and i want to run them in a raid-0 configuration. I got a wd 500 gp drive today that im gonna use for backup. I have vista installed on one of the 320's and the other is set as a storage drive. i want to make an image of the 320s and put it on the 500gb drive. Then i want to config the 320s for raid0 then install the vista image back onto the 320s in raid0. Is this the simplest way i can accomplish this or will it work at all? Thanks guys

Well i think i hit a wall, i have vista home premium and i was planning on doing a software raid but it seems that wont actually work how i thought. Hmm...
edit: well vista home premium doesnt support dynamic disks so im out of luck for now, would i be able to setup a raid array if i had an actually raid controller? I really dont want to have to upgrade to vista ultimate either just to have raid. Thanks for all the help

If you are going to boot from the RAID array it needs to be on a hardware controller.
