I'm going to be doing the latter shortly.<BR>
I have a 200GB HDD as HDA with boot and root partitions.<BR>
I have added 2 x 80GB HDDs as HDB and HDC.<BR>
I have partitioned HDB and HDC the same and now need to :<BR>
a) create RAID 1 partitions of each partition<BR>
b) copy root and boot from HDA to the md0 and md1 on the RAID set<BR>
c) edit grub confib on md1 (boot)<BR>
d) reinstall grub so it use md1 not /dev/hda2 (not sure about this)<BR>
e) reboot and hope like hell <IMG SRC="cid:1164447885.23705.3.camel@localhost.localdomain" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":-)" BORDER="0"><BR>

I will be using the s/w raid how to to try and understand the steps in each task..<BR>
<BR>
Have I forgotten or got any major errors here?<BR>

Here's my fdisk output (before I create the RAID sets)<BR>
