me mates computer is setup in raid0 and 1 of the disks is about to die
he is a total pc noob and i dont have time to sort it
is there a easy program he can take an image of the system with and copy it to a usb drive so i can talk him through installing a new HD and setting it to raid1 and then copy the OS etc back over so he doesnt have to re install everyrthing

I use Acronis, not for raid though, and its pretty good. You can create a boot disk from within the program and restore the image from that.
