got my replacement drive (RMA) ---> Raid 1 to copy files?

[dmo580]

So I got my 7200.9 drive to replace a 7200.8. Both are 250GB models, and I believe they are the same drive basically except for SATA II capabilities on the 7200.9

 

I was wondering if I could just use RAID 1 and copy the data over from the old drive to the new drive.

 

Good bad? The Seagate utility is giving me trouble, so that's why I'm asking this. I hate reinstalling XP.

 

Also, how would I go about doing this in the Ultra-D?
