So I have three partitions spread across two SATA drives in RAID 0 right now.

I need to copy 2 of these partitions, a primary and secondary, onto a standard IDE drive, not in RAID.

I have the IDE all formatted and ready to go.

I've been trying to use Acronis Disk Suite, but I am having some errors...

What do you guys recommend?

EDIT: OMG: 1337 post!!

yargh..I can't even initialize the damned program because it says it can't identify my partition's drive letter (probably because I am in RAID)

What a worthless program!
