I can verify that as well.  I used ghost to clone 2 of our servers (as a
backup when we were upgrading to win2k server).  Dell PE 2400's, integrated
RAID controller, no problem.

We use Ghost on RAID arrays all the time. Every RAID card I've ever tried
(even some really old ones) has an INT13 BIOS interfafce, so it looks to the
BIOS (and therefore Ghost) like any other hard disk.

If you're moving from one RAID controller to another, you need to make sure
you load the driver for the new RAID controller into Windows NT/2000
*BEFORE* you ghost it. That way windows will boot right up from the
destination RAID array, and you won't have to go through the annoying (and
sometimes destructive) Windows 2000 Setup repair process.
