Hi, I've currently got one Western Digital 640Gb hard drive with my os install.
Can I add a second drive to create a RAID 0 without reinstalling windows?

If not, can I buy two disks, set up RAID 0 and clone the current drive over?

Or is it just simpler and cleaner to just install a fresh installation of Vista on two new RAID 0 disks and keep my current one as storage or something?

Best to fresh install anyday, but if you have to then you can buy two new hard drives and clone it over using Norton Ghost/acronis true image just like a regular logical volume. You cannot however add another disk to an already existing RAID 0 configuration or add a RAID drive to your current single drive.
