Desire to keep WinXP on Mirror RAID with Win7 on separate HDD
Simplest thing to do is to just load W7 and get it over with...but am just smart or stupid enough to consider alternatives...
I have a pretty stable WinXP install but have run into games that require 7 (and DirectX 10).
Question:
Can I install W7 on a non-raid HDD (already on my machine) while keeping WinXP on the 250 GB mirror thus avoiding application reload AND potential for issues with the RAID array?
My initial thought is to unplug the mirrored drives and install W7 to the single drive. Replug the mirrored HDDs (same ports). Edit the Boot sequence to allow choice of XP or 7.
How badly would this go?
