general raid, rebuild question

[acn242]

I am planning to rebuild my poweredge2900 this weekend. current config is 2 150G in a raid0. i am going to a 4 disk(300 each) raid 5. i am using a simple ntbackup to rebuild. my question is, after i get ms server2003 up and running again, should i re-configure to a raid 5 before or after i try to restore the system state?

thanks

You will need to have your RAID 5 set up before you reinstall/restore your OS.
