I have Server 2003 with SP2, one 80G disk with OS, another 160G with data, I want to transfer the disks to another RAID with larger disks. One raid 1 for the OS, one raid 5 for data, can someone tell me what is the best method to transfer the OS and data, by a clone software?

Two ways, you can backup the OS and data partition and restore on the target RAID partition, the other method is copy the disk directly to the RAID virtual disk. In my opinion, copy directy is much faster, after copy, you can use the targe OS and data directly.
Try easeus partition master, build the raid and use its copy feature, it can help you resize the partitions to fit for the target partiton size when you copy.
