Please help me out. I am sooo lost here. I am getting ready to move, promotion, and want to get this done before I move and don't have internet for a couple weeks.
Question:
-I currently have (2)750Gb WD Black HDDs in Raid0. Started getting raid errors and raid was getting quite full.
-Have the 120 SSD to put new OS (win7) onto.
-I want to upgrade my space utilizing (2)3TB WD Red's in Raid1.
-I have Acronis True Image 2009 and want to know what the correct sequence would be to get all this accomplished.
-I want to do a clean install of WIN7 on SSD for a fresh new pc experience. How would I go about all this, keeping all the files of my family. (Videos, pictures, Home movies) My wife might just divorce me if I lose all the pictures/videos of my three kids' 1st birthdays.
This is my assumption:
1. Using Acrois TI 2009, create "Clone" of Raid0 to one of the 3 TB drives via usb 3.0 external HDD enclosure.
2. Replace old Raid0 Drives with new 3TB drive to work as C:/ Drive.
3. Remove 2 750GB HDD's.
4. Create Raid1 with 2nd 3TB WD Red HDD.
5. Install SSD and install Win7 onto new SSD.
??????? Have not a clue where to go from here.
Please let me know what is the safest route!
Thank you ahead of time for guiding me on this one.
