I spent most of my day today trying to replace the two hard-drives (striped in a RAID set) in my workstation with a single larger drive. Thankfully I had a full and complete backup, because things did not go smoothly, due to the annoying RAID stuff built into this machine, and my inexperience with it. 

At least it’s all done now, everything seems to be working fine, and the RAID controller should vex me no more. For the curious, the new drive is a Western Digital VelociRaptor (replacing some older Raptors), and Norton Ghost worked like a charm in simplifying the upgrade process. (Ghost would have worked even better if I hadn’t screwed things up at one point.)
