    I just set up a PC with 2 x 320gb SATA hard drives in a RAID1 (mirrored) array. I need to clone the owner's old 200gb drive to the new system with the RAID1. I'm using Easeus Disk Copy 2.0 and it is not seeing the mirrored array; it sees two drives, not one drive. What's up with that? I don't have a ton of time, and I don't want to clone the 200gb (which will take over an hour) just to have the whole thing not work right. Should I use a different cloning app? Anybody know of some free bootable cloning tools?

    Thanks.

    I've tried HDClone, and it also sees 2 drives and not one drive as it should in a mirrored RAID, and it's WAY TOO SLOW! It said it would be 11 hours to copy the drives. NOPE. I'm going to try Ghost next....

    norton makes a program called ghost this program will copie everything on a harddrive and transfer it to the new one i don't know how it works but all the people that i know that program computers use this program to back everything up so give it a try

    Thanks barononeefdip, but I was a bit ahead of you if you read my 2nd post above. And in case anybody gives a reeking :crap, Norton's Ghost worked perfectly. :-D
