Hello. I have 2 1tb western digital Black drives and a 750g seagate. i right now have my windows installation on one of the WD's and would like to put that drive in a RAID config. However i want to keep everything i have on the 1tb. I am thinking of creating an image of the 1tb on the 750g (there is sapce) and then setting up RAId on the WD's and then transferring the image back onto the WD's in RAID. Will this be Possible?

Nope.
Well... you can copy it back but it wont be bootable which is what I think you meant by 'Will this be possible"

When setting up a RAID, a full reinstall is needed, after the RAID array is created.
Porting the original non-RAID image back into a RAID will bork up the RAID array.
