OK, I give up. Can I image my SATA RAID 0 and restore it if something hoses up?

I have searched and searched and can not find a definative answer.

I want to back up my SATA RAID 0 array and restore it if I get file corruption (ie. overclock or what ever). I want to purchase a program to do this, whether it be Ghost, Drive Image, or another program, but i can't seem to find one that will restore to a SATA RAID 0 or I am missing something. I do believe I can back it up, but restoring seems to be the issue. I thought Nero BackItUP would do the trick, but it didn't.

Please, tell me of a program that will do this painlessly.

My system is in my sig

I don't see why would that fact that it's a SATA RAID 0 make it more complicated. First, you create an image with your choice of application. In the event one drive fails, replace the defective drive, create a new RAID 0 volume and run restore. Am I missing something?

<FONT size=3>I think my problem is that whatever restore program I use, it won't see the array in DOS mode. I need a program that will restore to the array in DOS mode or whatever mode, just not in Windows. That is what I'm trying to do since Windows will obviously not be working. I want to get away from reinstalling XP everytime something bad happens. I'm an overclock addict, so it happens a good bit because I can't just so no. ;) </FONT>

After doing some more detailed researching, everything I was reading kept pointing me to Powerquest Drive Image 7. It will allow you to load a third party driver for RAID and SATA controllers, very much like XP does when you install it onto a RAID array. I haven't tried it yet, but when I do, I'll post here for reference.
