SSD install

Hoping someone can spare me some grief.

Got myself a SSD which I'm going to stick Win7 onto to speed things up and save the hell of reinstalling windows (slow after a few years) onto an aging raid0 drive and a 6-7 year old mobo.

Plan is to unplug the sammys from sata1 and 2 and put ssd into sata3 and install everything, then plus 1 and 2 back in... But that's a raid0 array with two paritions, partition 1 being a 100gb win 7 bootable one. Will this cause issues?

Can I sonmehow stop it either trying to dual boot or die horribly? Once it's wortking I'll be trying to shift some games and emails across then backing up and formatting to a single storagew partiion (but still raid0 as that's worked well when one of the drives has given up before).

I have backed up 99% of files already just in case

Thanks anyone!
