Boot SSD upgrade 2x RAID to non RAID

aDoBo

As the title suggests, im looking to update the boot SSD in one of my PCs.

The current setup in it is i7 960, 2x 32GB SSD (RAID0) [onboard RAID controller - Asus P6t Dv2], 2x 500GB

 

I currently have it dual booting WIN7 (on boot drive), Server 2008R2 on 1 of the 500GB hdd.

I want to replace the 2x 32GB SSDs with 1x 120GB SSD.

 

 

 

Would it be a simple process? Im guessing i have to reinstall the Win7 OS, but how will it boot to the Server 2008R2 partition?

ok..i ended up just replacing the ssd and reinstalling the OS (felt the need to as the last install had a bunch of settings for testing purposes)...

used a program called EasyBCD to try to allow it to dual boot to the other existing server2008r2 OS....

doesnt seem to work now...booting to server 2008 causes it to keep restarting. any ideas?

 

 

is each OS supposed to have its own SYSTEM RESERVED partition? cos i deleted it thinking i don't :(
