Background: When I built my 3rd PC I decided to experiment with a Raid0 configuration, with a paging (swap) file on a second drive. I put 2x400gb Samsung HDD in raid0 with my older 120gb Maxtor HHD hosting the paging file. As it turned out the old drive was very loud all the time. So after reading that 2GB was enough to get rid of paging file I turned it off in windows.
Problem: Now with the PC running and precious data growing ever larger my raid0 is vunerable to failure. Therefore I wanted to remove the old drive and insert a new drive to back up the raid0. When I removed the old drive windows wouldn't boot. After reinserting the old drive I have discovered the boot.ini file is on this other drive along with a few windows hidden files. I didn't realise this would happen -noob- and therefore I'm not sure if I can just repartition the small number of files and move them onto the main Raid0 drives. Would this mess up windows booting? The reason I want to move these files is it's an old drive and if it dies windows won't boot.
