Copying C drive to RAID array

[ubersam]

I'm about to experiment with my onboard RAID (mobo: A7V133). My plan is to set up the array (fdisk, format, etc.), copy C drive onto the array, remove C drive HD and boot from RAID array. But before I do all that I thought I'd you who have more expreice with this: Will my plan work? Or am I better off just doing a fresh install on the array? TIA

If you're using a Microsoft OS you're better off doing a brand new install.

That's what I was thinking. I guess there's no short cuts.

yes, setup raid fresh then slap your old drive in on an open ide channel and copy over your important stuff.
