I installed Windows XP onto my server, then discovered I needed a true RAID controller. Once that was installed I had this truly reliable (we hope) raid system. Now I discovered (thanks to certain listmembers who shall remain unnamed) that I really needed to move to Windows Server 2003. Having this high powered raid system, I decided to install (dual boot) Windows 2003 to the D: drive. In and of itself this is not a big issue but it does leave a single (and small - 80gb) non-raid drive sitting at C:, with a full install (unused) of Windows XP Pro. Is it possible to: 1) Get rid of the dual boot so that the system automatically boots into Server 2003. 2) Get rid of the C: drive and slide a raid drive into it's place. 3) and REALLY reaching here, migrate all the software stored on my D: drive onto that C: drive. 4) Have it all work when that is done. ;-) I would be thrilled with 1 and 2, but figured I might as well ask about 3 as well.
