I have a failing HD connected to an Intel software raid controller, the ones that are on almost every motherboard. I have a 2 drive raid 0 array with one failing drive.

Can i use RawCopy to copy the raw data from the one drive to an identical model drive and have a working array afterward? I would of course boot the system without that array connected and then just hot plug in the bad drive since you can't read one drive of a raid array.

Also i'm not sure it matters but it was partitioned as a GPT disk and is not my boot drive.

I have done the same thing in the past myself with great results so i think it should work fine! Just make sure the system doesnt try and write to the raid drive while its out of the array!

Cheers
