I need to separate two hard drives (1TB each) that are software striped. How can I do so in Windows 7? I'm trying to use Acronis True Image to make an image of the drives, format them, and then stick the image on one drive. Will this work?

i have a feeling you are going to end up with a 2 TB image file, try to shrink the the partition to less than 1 TB. create an image of that 1 TB partition and you should be able to deploy the image to 1 TB drive. you may have to use third party tools to shrink the partition.
Will this work? No.
If the stuff on the stripe is data then just back it up and the copy it back in.
If its bootable then you're looking at a full reinstall.
