RAID on RAID - hardware or Software?


Hey all,

My problem is I've got to remove big video files off a pair of striped raid drives. The drives are currently OFF any system. They were originally run off a promise TX 100 controller. They are older, slow drives, and I want to replace them with ONE big new [ NON raid] drive to run video. ( so the raid setup will only be only temporary to download the files]

1. Can I hook up the fastrack card to a mother
board that is already booted by a highpoint 2 drive raid ?


2. Is there an XP PRO - software type - temporary raid that could solve this problem?

3. Anyway to hook these two drives to a laptop
to download the data?

thanks for all suggestions.

Beth
