I have a motheboard which allows RAID 1 control for a couple of SATA drives.
I am currently using the two IDE hard drives.
I would like to purchase two SATA drives using RAID 1 and be able to
transfer the data from the two IDE drives over to the SATA drives. My
question is can this be done or do I have to reinstall everything to the
SATA drives? (Can I just install XP on the SATA so I can install the needed
drivers and then restore a backup to add the programs and registry items?
Or will the restored backup destroy the SATA drivers?) I know that with
stripping my data is vulnerable. Can I use disk image 7 to backup my RAID
hard drives on my exisiting IDE drives?
In short can someone help me in the best way of moving data over to SATA
drives and then backing up the data later.
