Switching OS & APPS to SATA Drive/Help?

I have the ASUS A8V Deluxe mob. Currently with (3) IDE hard drives. One is for operating system and the other 2 for back-up. I want to switch over to 2 or possibly 3 SATA WD2500KS hardrives or even the Maxtor Maxline III line (not sure yet). I am a "NEWBIE" with SATA and know nothing about how to install the drivers and copy over my Operating System "Windows XP Pro" and applications. I want to avoid doing a complete new install. Just did one about 4 Months ago with the new mob and cpu. I have Drive Image 7.0 software and image copies of my "C" drive on my back up drives. Can you help me or point me to some articles on how to achieve this. I will not be running raid. My mob has 2x Southbridge Serial ATA with raid support and 2x Serial ATA Promise PDC20378 Raid controllers. I get a little confused with all the "raid" wording. As I previously mentioned I will not be running raid. Thoughts, comments GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
 
if you connect the SATA drive to the NVRaid ports (black ones usually) you should have no issue as they should be recognized as regular ports and not require any special drivers. Putting it on the Promise controller will become a headache and will the the ports you want to have your data drives connected to.
