How to move boot drive?

Hi,

I have an old raid 0 system, which I'd like to replace with a single drive. What's the easiest way to get everything accross and get it to boot from the new drive? (The new drive is bigger than the raid 0 cluster!)

Thanks,
Philip

Use Acronis True Image to take an image copy of the RAID array onto the new drive. One you've done that you should be able to set the BIOS to boot from the new drive and remove the RAID pair.

I used Acronis and it worked out fine but make sure the new disk boots O.k before you reformat the the old ones.
