http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

Start with that site and then search for RAID and look at others.

This has to be one of the most inaccurate things I have read in a while.

Yes Ghost has the ability to copy one hard drive to the other. Ghost is indeed compatible with Windows XP SP2.

I have no idea what this person is talking about when referring to motherboards since we are talking about copying data from one hard drive to another in the same system. If kto is referring to copying the drive from one system to another system that doesn't have the same hardware then yes you will have issues but can usually be rectified by obtaining the proper drivers.

But for what deathblade is wanting RAID is the best bet and is very easy to implement.
