Raid 0+1

Ok this system wasn't built by me, a friend built it for himself and found himself in debt and he had to sell some items and this was one of them. Here's my problem, there was a storm that came thru and knocked the power out at my place. (All my stuff are on power strips) I turned the power on the computer on and i got a error msg saying something about the Nvatabus.sys file either missing or was corrupted. Well i wasn't sure what that was and so i did a search on google and found out what it was. I booted from my xp cd into repair mode but when got to the part to select which install to fix it couldn't see any drives that had XP on it. Duh, i forgot to load the raid drivers when booting. Well i found the floppy disk and booted with raid drivers and was able to get into my RAID and i replaced the Nvatabus.sys file with the one i got online. Rebooted and still same error msg. I then did a check disk and it came back with 1 or more errors. I guess perhaps one of the hd's has bad sectors on it, all 4 drives are still in warrenty but all my stuff is on there. Now long time ago I had used Norton Ghost to xfer my system from a smaller HD to a new larger one and it went without a hitch, of course it was just one drive. Here's my problem, can i use the same process and ghost my system to a new HD? I purchased a 500 Gig SATA int. hoping i could just ghost the files to the new one. Can i still do this even it's in a RAID 0+1? If so how will I go about booting the raid drivers so it can see it.

Just to clear something up that u might be thinking. I didn't build this system, my friend built it and was going to use each HD for seperate video work since he has a camcorder. Well for me I need no such thing so i wanted to try out a RAID system and see if it's all that.

Thanks for any help u guys can give me on this.
