  Ernest, you might want to give some thought to getting a RAID 0+1 controller, if your current M/B or controller don't support it.  It will cost you two more (identical) drives, but drive are pretty cheap - less than $1/GB - and I'll bet you'll spend more than two drives worth of time trying to recover/restore your data.    The SIIG IDE-RAID controller sells for less than $100.
