What  you  have  to take care to manage is not anything I'd call "boot
information"  per  se,  it's  the RAID driver (since the partitions in
your  new  array  will  be  in  the  same  positions they're in on the
original single HD, there need be no difference in the BOOT.INI).

Assuming your current single drive is not on the RAID controller, just
make  sure  to  install  the RAID driver on the OS _before_ cloning it
using  Ghost or equivalent. If you can actually physically install the
RAID  controller  in the existing machine, even better, as you'll then
be sure the driver is picking up the hardware.

Then,  power  the system down, create and install the RAID array, boot
to a Ghost boot CD or floppy and do a drive-to-drive clone. Power down
again,  unplug  the original drive, preferably deactivate the original
controller as well, and boot again.
