I currently have an 80gb 7200 RPM 8mb wd drive and a 200gb 7200rpm 8mb seagate drive. Would it be ok to run raid on these?

You can but it will only be a 80gb raid. You will lose 120gb from your seagate. I'm assuming it a 200gb drive and not a 200mb drive. :)

The RAID will only use the amount of the smallest drive. It's best to use two identical drives.
