Have you thought of how you're going to install the RAID drivers?

When you do the restore there won't be any drivers for the array.

RAID1 you can restore to one disk, setup the RAID in the BIOS, install the RAID drivers, then rebuild the array.
With RAID0 you can't do that because the OS won't see the array without the drivers being installed.

If you want to do RAID0, you have the perfect excuse for a fresh, clean install.

robocopy to backup your data at the file system level...

use the raid utilities or OS'es mirror options at the partition level...

Much of what looks like rudeness is not intended to give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bull**** communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy. Would you like to know more?
