Simple question, about a complicated situation.

I have 6 hard drives in my computer, 4 36 gig WD Sata Raptors running RAID 0, and 2 back up old 30 gig drives running individually. The raptors are the C: drive, and the other 2 are the D: and E: drives.

I know some of you have thoughts in your mind such as "what in the world are u thinking with that hard drive setup" all i can say is... dont ask. 

I just need an answer as to: 'is it possible to ghost this raid drive' and then restore it with no headaches. 

Maybe there is a topic somewhere about this, and im just blind. if there is, could someone link me? if not could someone help me? ive been trying to find an answer to this question for about 3 years now, since the raptors came out, ive had 4 in my computer. and i cant count the times ive had to re-install windows cause of some screw up.

im keeping my computer with just the bare essentials installed like drivers and what not. just so i can create a small image to test the possibility of restoring properly.

once again, if you have answers please let me know! thank you for your time. (if you have any questions about my hardware, let me know what you need to know and i'll gladly answer) my AIM is VisionsIllusions, as you can see, i need answers asap, who knows when the next time i log into these forums is gonna be.

which version of ghost should i have to attempt this crazyness?

and another question. i want to totaly format my RAID (C:) before restoring. is this ok? what steps should i take?

I think Ghost can make a backup image of most 'stripped' arrays, but it will be a simple backup--it will not contain the necessary data to put the information back on the four different HDD in the same arrangement that the files occupied when the image was created.

So a restore will have to be to a single HDD volume with the needed size capacity to hold the amount of data being restored.  So, if you recreate the stripped array before restoring the the image, and Ghost sees that array as a single volume, it may be able to restore the data successfully--but, you could not just replace a single member of the array and restore its data independently.
