Right now I'm running two 250GB SATA drives in Raid 0, and recently got my hands on two Raptor 150GB drives I'd like to set up in raid. What I'd like to do is keep my current install and contents intact, and mirror them over to the Raptor Raid array. What is the best way of going about doing this?
 
If you have the ports you could try cloning the 2x250 disk to the 2x150 disk from windows after setting up the 150s in the bios. At least if that doesn't boot then you haven't lost anything.
 
I have enough ports to connect my raptor array and boot into my old array, what method do I pursue in order to mirror the image from my old array to the new raptor array?
 
idk if it'd work on a RAID (drivers.. bleh) but I would resize the partition to fit onto the smaller drives, image it straight from the old drives to the new drives.
 
you don't need to resize anything, just aquire a copy of a ghost or acronis true image boot cd and clone it right over. I recomend true image

IIRC acronis will let you load windows drivers to access drives.. but I could be wrong.
