i currently have a server 2003 install running on a asus MB under a ide raid 1 (mirror) from the mb raid controller setup. I just got a promise sx6000 pci raid 5 card. I want to know the easiest way to move the raid 1 install to the raid 5 card (will use the 2 current drives along with 4 new drives to have the raid 5 install)
Norton ghost? (i have v6) i have heard that ghost does not move raid installs very well.
 
If you look HERE, you'll find info on Ghost and RAID. In a nutshell, RAID is not supported, although there are sometimes ways to work around this by loading DOS ASPI drivers.

Support for cloning a mirrored partition in Windows 2000/XP(and presumably 2003) can be done if the disk is Dynamic and restored to a Basic disk. However, you will need to have v7.5 or higher to do this -- version 6.0 is not going to work.

Lastly, I suggest you read up on Ghost compatibility with dynamic partitions




 
i was wrong it is vers 8.0 not 6 as stated.

ok after review it stands as i thought...ghost is not a likly option. is there another way?
