bspanker,
This is generally not possible owing to the controller methods.
A workaround if the old system is still functonal would be to create a single drive image of the RAID 1 Array with a third drive. Setup up the original drives on the new sys and image back from the third drive.
If using Win XP see this link for changing the mobo:
Hope this helps

So my fingers are crossed. ![[pc3]](/data/assets/smilies/pc3.gif "[pc3] [pc3]")
