Xfering OS to a new raid array

[orion7144]

I need to xfer my OS from one raid array to another. They are both in the same computer. Can this be done?

Yes; however, you cannot just copy the files from within Windows. You need to use 'ghost' or drive imaging software (such as Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage) to copy the entire disk (including the boot records and things like that). If you search, you'll find plenty of information on how to do this.

There are a couple of things you can do.

As mentioned, use ghost or a clone: this is a freebie that works well and works over a network- http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/

You can do a Windows Backup and Restore - see here for details:
