RAID 0 system backup+restore+upgrade
-
Hi, I am running Vista Business x64 on two 750GB HDs configured as RAID0. Both hard discs report R/W errors at bootup and I'd like to move my system over to two new HDs and upgrade a little in the process (the new discs are 2x 1000GB). So I assume I need to: 1) backup all files to a 5th disk when running some sort of live boot CD OS, so I can access and copy all typically locked OS files. 2) yank the old disks and replace with new, and setup the new RAID 0 (i.e. make the partitions) 3) copy all files back from 5th disk using same live boot CD OS Here are my questions: a) how do I make sure the boot sector information is setup appropriately? b) is there any GPL or similar software that helps with this? If not, any $$$ software? Thanks, Ingmar
