Hi,
I currently have a Seagate IDE HDD as my primary.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-K8NF9 Ultra, with nForce4 Ultra (SATA-II command queing etc) chipset.
I intend to buy two new SATA II drives and set them up in RAID 0 running off the motherboard controller.
I have Ghost 10, as I use it for back-up.
Now what I want to do is
1) install the new drives and set 'em up in the BIOS as RAID
2) start Windows as per normal, install drivers etc as necessary
3) Ghost the main drive to the new array
4) restart and set-up the array as the primary boot device
5) remove the old drive.
Anyone an expert with Ghost?
Does anyone see any problems with the above plan? Should I use the Ghost boot CD instead of doing it through Windows? If so, what complications might there be with regard to the driver for the RAID?
Will a "mirror" work, from a single drive to an array, with regard to the boot sectors etc?
Appreciate any comments.
