building redundancy.

I have read one of the threads regarding SBS 2003, My situation is
different; I just started with this company running SBS 2003 running on
PowerEdge 1750, 2 36Gig drives with No Raid configuration. Is it possible to
build any raid config on the server after the after the fact (I don't think
so).

If not, would anyone recommend Symantec Ghost and make and Image of the OS
for restore purposes.

Any kind of suggestion for Redundancy/fast recovery would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

hardware raid - depends if you have a raid card. if so, you could do it, but
would need to reinstall your OS after. no raid card, then no.
software raid - yes. you could do a raid 1. the second drive would have to
have everything off it, change both disks to dynamic then establish a mirror
i prefer hardware raid over software raid. i would only use software raid
under certain circumstances.
