This is what I'd planned to do, but all the places I've read about it were dated several years ago and I was thinking maybe Microsoft have stopped you from doing this now.
And I don't want a dual boot system; I want to install Vista INSTEAD of XP but I currently have XP on a raid 0 set up; however I want to disable the raid and just put Vista on a partition of one of my HDs and use the other for back up.
It all sounds so "if /but / or maybe" and I'm a bit worried I might cock up the whole thing

That's where it gets uncertain for me.

What if (and I know this is VERY long-winded) I reinstalled XP first without the raid, THEN installed Vista? It would at least get over the raid problem?
