Raid Configuration Question

[Petlydecker]

Hello

I am using a Western Digital 120GB ATA 133 hard drive. I have m
operating system and programs on the drive. I use Norton Ghost t
keep Ghost images of the drive in case of a crash or failure. I hav
a Gigabyte motherboard that has 2 SATA controllers with raid onboard
I am thinking of trying a Raid configuration for the first time.
just bought 2 Maxtor 80GB Sata-150 drives. I was wondering if th
ghost image I have could be imaged on to the Maxtor Sata drives in
Raid 0 configuration? Or will I have to install everything from th
beginning (operating system, and programs)? Any advice would b
appreciated

Thank you

Pete

Just one word of advice: WD disks are notroious for falling out
of RAIDs due to sometimes very long command reaction times.
Don't use them in RAID configurations.
