I have an IT7 with HPT374 controller

The first drive has Winxp installed on Channel 1. Identical drive is on Channel 3

When I go into the HPT bios it gives me the option to create and copy raid

1. has anyone does this successfully and not screwed up the source disk
2. In teh manual it refers to the source and destination disk. Problem - no where in the bios does it use these words!!

I am ASSuming disk1 is source and disk3 will be destination ???
