I am setting up a RAID configuration for the first time. I have an ASUS A8N-SLI which uses the NForce 4 chipset. I have 2 identical Seagate SATA II drives and so far everything seems to be working properly in a RAID 0 (striping) mode.

Now I want to copy my existing partition onto the RAID. What software will allow me to do this? I have Partition Magic 7, but it won't allow me to copy the partition onto the RAID. Will Partition Magic 8 work with RAID? Will Ghost 10?

Thanks for you help guys :) . I checked out Acronis and noticed their Migrate Easy 7 which has a fully functional 15 day trial. It copied my partition from the non-arrayed drive to the RAID 0 array in about an hour (I had a few files :rolleyes: ). That should have been a one time need, but if I have to do it again, I will buy a copy.

I wasn't sure how much of an impact the RAID would have, but boy is it noticable. Boots in about half the time and programs load faster too. I might have to try some overclocking next :D .
