Imaging SBS Server HDD's to new HDD's



Hi,

I was wondering if someone could quickly help me here. We have a
client whose SBS server is an HP ML100 G3 that has been setup by
another IT solution provider (not the best I must add) with the
standard 2 HP IDE HDD's in the server.

The HDD's are in RAID1 but with software RAID not Hardware RAID ie are
therefore 'dynamic' in the OS.

The server is running like a dog and the bottleneck is naturally the
speed of the HDD's (being IDE) and the software RAID in this case
too. We need to 'image' (I guess this is the best way?) the HDD's or
at least one of them to a new SATA2 server class HDD that will be then
hardware mirrored (RAID1) using a dedicated SATA controller card.
Nothing else in the network environment needs to change hence the
imaging not SBS Server migration.

Can someone therefore please advise if there is an easy way of doing
this and if so any pitfalls to watch out for too?

Many thanks.
.
