I have 2 Disks mirrored. I am running out of space and would like to replace them with larger disks. This is my plan, is it possible?

Connect the two larger disks to the mirror and copy all data over. Take out 2 smaller disks and boot with the larger.

Here are my questions.
1. Will I have to break the mirror with the 2 smaller disks before I try to boot with just the 2 larger disks?
2. This volume is partitioned into C: and D: drives. On the C: drive I have 600Mb of space left and would like to extend that to some of the unallocated space on the larger disks and give the rest to the D: drive. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Bill
 
could I do shuch action?

Backup the machine with Ghost, then create a new set with the larger disks (mirrored) and restore the data back.

ops I forgot to reply to the second point:

remove on disk, use PARTITION MANAGER to resize your disk recreate the mirror.
