host is running win7 ultimate. it has a raid configuration inside of it that serves as the "Program Files" directory for the system.






The raid is failing, and rescue is needed. Luckily the Raid will stay active for several hours to a day before it blue screens or disassociates itself from windows. Since it is RAID 0 it has no redundancy. The objective is to rescue the "Program Files" directory and still have Windows recognize the programs installed there.












So...drives logically look like this, 4 physical drives with 3 assignments:


C:/


G:/  (raid with programs)


F:/  (single drive)




Can I clone G: to F:, dismantle the raid so G: disappears, and then reassign F: to be G: and everything work?




edit: also, any freeware software that i can install in windows to clone the drives with since they aren't host drives? im feeling lazy and dont want to make a boot disk/usb drive
