For the method, well, without actually in a raid, it works

I usually just leave the current drive in 1st ide slot, put in the new one in the 2nd slot, let it format it and sort it out, turn it off, put the new drive in slot 1, and try it

If everythings ok, i reinstall teh os just to make sure all teh files are there


Its much easier doing it outside a raid set from experience, as mine was mirrored, but never rebuilt the raid, i had to manually break and remove it in the debug console


I believe 400GB should be fine depending on the bios and h/w and such

However, those drives are ATA-133, and there have been some reported problems with ATA-133 and or EIDE drives
