Currently I have the following setup for my hard drives...
C: 2 70gb in RAID1 for programs
D: 2 640gb in RAID1 for data
They are both NTFS on nForce RAID (nF4, Asus A8N-SLI), running WinXP.
I'm thinking of replacing the 70gb drives with the 640gb and migrating the data onto new 1T drives in RAID1, with a new AM3 motherboard.
However, as I will then need to install the OS (win7) onto the 640gb, the process would wipe out my original data.
In this case, will it be possible for me to setup RAID1 through BIOS first, then bootup through a LiveCD (Ubuntu for instance) to migrate the data onto the 1T drives (RAID1) first to keep my data intact?
Thanks for the help/advice in advance!
