I have done close to what your trying before, except the
raid part. First, the OS install, I think the only thing
you can bet on is the results will vary. I think the
worst that will happen, is when you boot, the blue screen
for 'Check Disk' will appear. No big deal, just get into
the system as usual, and run 'chkdsk', and 'sfc /scannow'
to be safe. If you just throw in the disk and cross your
fingers, you might have to alter the boot.ini ....again,
no big deal.
The worst that could possibly happen is ya lose
everything and start again. As long as what's important
is backed up (sorry to repeat myself), no biggie.
The next part, RAID 1 is mirroring one hard drive to
another, so how can that be, when one has two partitions
and the other has four?
