raid 0

Well, you can "copy" the OS and everything else on the disk for that matter
if you use something like Norton Ghost.

Hmm. Dan, you will realize a significant speed boost from a RAID0
array...depending [mostly] upon the size of the files that you manipulate
most often...and the parameters of the array itself.

Unfortunately, you DEFINITELY cannot install a second HDD without
re-installing everything. Yes, everything. BUT...

You can borrow any old drive temporarily, and copy the important data onto
that drive first. Then configure the array, partition/format/install XP
etc., then copy back the saved data. Note that you cannot "copy" the OS ,
applications, drivers etc. back & forth. Just the hard-to-replace stuff,
like music/photos/docs etc.

Please post a follow-up.
