I replied to this but it got deleted. I may know why.

If you want your third harddrive to act as a drive by itself, you don't want to add it to the raid.  Raid makes multiple harddrives act as one harddrive.  You don't want that, you want the data on the third drive to show up as drive D: not as part of your current drive C:

There are multiple reasons why it is not a good idea to move an OS from one computer to another.  Your best bet is to install the harddrive in the computer so it is recognized as drive D: or anything other than C: then format it and do a full install of Vista onto D:. You do risk screwing something up with your current install or your Raid configuration if you do it that way. I have never done it with Raid so I don't have any advice to protect your current config.  

I don't know what starforce drivers are, but I would probably try to get the games working in 7 rather than doing a dual boot with Vista.  Maybe you have done everything possible though, I don't know.

yeah Dell deleted the 2nd post of mine, why?  I am in the dark about, I just read the terms and condistions of posting and don't see how my post was aganist them, maybe the Mod could get in touch with me and explain.  Anyway thanks for your post. Good points which I have taken on board.,

Philby12, I found no violation in your post. I found one in the post by goonielife.

I mentioned something in mine that would probably be considered software piracy.
