RAID Question
RAID Question
When I set up my computer, I used a RAID 0 configuration. Now, I'm wishing I went with the RAID 1 instead for the built in backup. My question is, can I back up or image my current system and wipe the disks, changeover to RAID 1 and restore my data on the RAID 1 format? I don;t want to do a clean install, since my system in only realyl 6 mos old but I have a ton of apps installed and would be a real pain to re-install and do updates, enter serial #'s etc.

If you have another drive that you can temporarily copy your OS to, Seagate's Disk Wizard (Windows edition) works very well. I copied my OS from one drive to a RAID array and it worked and booted perfectly.
