How to copy XP from IDE to SATA RAID?

Im setting up a PC and I need to ask a couple questions. I am going to copy the exsisting install to the 2 new 250 gig drives that will be in SATA RAID 0. The old 60 gig drive has the OS on it. Can I use the CD that comes with the SATA drives to copy the old HD to the new RAID 0 set? I know I will have to do a repair install on XP afterwards to install the RAID drivers but the idea is to preserve the currnet install and basicly do a repair on XP. Will the drive utilities(Western digital) that allow you to copy an old drive to a new drive support doing this to a RAID array?

thanks in advance

Maybe Ghost or True Image. Might be faster to reinstall Windows.

Yeah a proper disk imaging solution would be best to use like ghost. However i dont think you will be able to image straight onto a RAID 0 array. When you image with ghost you have to select the source & destination disk - but in this case there will be a pair of destination disks.....

Yes, exactly russ. I was hoping with some experience with this issue might reply with some tips as to make this as painless as possible. I need to save the install.

Don't copy a live, running WindowsXP to another disk: pretty much all files which are important will be in use and not copyable. What you can do is booting from PEBuilder CD with a RAID driver installed and copy it then. After fixing the bootloader stuff, it might even work.
A proper reinstall is still a cleaner solution and much preferred imho

A Windows installation has the mentioned NETBIOS to DNS translation service running by default so it will work I guess to ask it the name and it will return the NETBIOS name. MS versions of ping and other network tools are linked against a library which does this. That is not standard for a TCPIP based network however any "standard" versions like from cygwin or Linux binaries won't be able to do that.
