Reinstall XP-Preserve RAID-1 Data HDs

I'm thinking its that time to reinstall XP-Pro.

The C drive is where windows resides.

I also have a raid 1 setup as drive F, that is a data archive. I'd obviously like to preserve this.

I've never reinstalled XP with a RAID setup before--any tips n tricks?

Thanks so much

well if windows xp doesn't get the driver from you it won't see your raid array anyway and won't be able to mess it up which should be fine. normally you have to press f6 and insert a floppy with a driver for your controller in order for the installer to see it. This is all really beside the point because installing windows on one hard drive won't have any effect on the others. XP is pretty good about the installer, you can even install a second installation on the same drive and boot either of them from its boot menu. unless you specifically go out of your way to format a drive xp shouldn't break anything.
