Hello, all.

I have a current Vista Home Premium (32-bit) build.  I have 4 WD 160GB SATA
drives, non-RAID.  I also have an external backup solution.  My motherboard
supports software RAID through an Intel controller.  Here's what I would like
to do:

Go from a non-RAID setup to a RAID 0 configuration, without having to
reinstall Vista (along with everything else currently installed).

I have taken a full system backup, changed the drives into a RAID0 config,
then restored the OS et. al from backup.  Yet when I try booting, the system
crashes.  In my understanding, this is because the RAID drivers are not
installed in my backed up configuration.  (At least, this is what would make
sense to me.)

So, the question is, how can I "inject" the RAID drivers into my current
build of Vista, take a backup of that build, switch the drives to RAID0,
restore the backup, and have my system come up cleanly?

Thank you in advance!
