I have a raid 10 array, which is being used as the boot drive with no problems, this is on the main controller chip (ichr7) I am going to want to set up another raid 1 array on the Marvell controller on this same motherboard to use as the boot drive, and use the raid 10 array as data storage only. I know that when loading XP I had to add the raid drivers for the ICHR7, how do I add the drivers for the Marvell after the fact? Am I going to be stuck reloading the operating system and all my programs, or is there a way around this?
I want to get rid of my scsi drive card and 2 old scsi drives I am using for storage, get 2 raptor drives and use them in raid 1 (mirror) for operating system and programs only, and make the raid 10 array for storage only.

system uses - wifes PHD work, music and movie server.

Motherboard - Asus P5WDG2 pro with 4 sata drives as a bootable raid 10 on the ICHR7 controller(4 seagate 320 gig drives 7200.10)
Operating system - xp pro
 
There is another way around it. Go to the BIOS of the new RAID controller card and set up the mirror for your two new HD. Using Symantec GHOST to mirror the boot partition from your RAID 10 to the new RAID 1 partition.
 
When loading XP, it asks if you need any outside drivers to hit F6, and you load the drivers supplied by ASUS to make the raid array bootable on the INTEL chipset. There is a seperate set of drivers to make an array bootable on the Marvell chipset. How do I get around this, without having to re-install everything?

Thanks for your reply
