What would be the best and easiest way to achieve this? Symantec Ghost? Sysprep? I basically want to move everything from RAID_0 to a single SATA HDD without having to reinstall everything. Your help is greatly appreciated.

your right, cloning is probably the best way.
Ghost is good as is acronis.

You can start the cloning from XP over to the new hard drive, then reboot and swap them over to boot from the new, cloned drive.

Yeah, I was just reading about Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0, I've used Ghost before but I never got lucky, maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm going to try Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0 15 Days Trial.

I have been using Acronis True Image for a long time now and have had absolutely no problems when it comes to creating/restoring images. I find it much more easier to use than Ghost.

Do you recommend True Image over Migrate Easy 7.0?

I have never used Migrate Easy, so I really can't comment on it. But as I said in my earlier post, True Image has never failed me so far. In fact I have even used True Image to restore a partition from a single hard drive to a Raid 0 partition without any problems.

Cool, True Image does have a few more options than Migrate Easy. I found Acronis True Image 10 Home for $21.99 @ Amazon so I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Additional Comments: Acronis True Image 10 Home worked flawlessly, thanks so much.
