Installing New Mac Pro System Disc with Exisiting Raid

Bob Zellin will jump all over me again for using the Mac Raid Card, but I can take it ;)

I want to replace my system drive as it is the end result of too many migrations and has too many quirks to iive with any more. I have a nice clean "Apple" (WD) 1tb HD ready to put in. I expect to make it a dual boot as people I respect have suggested I do that with 10.6.8 and Lion. I currently use 10.6.8.

My question is this: when I replace the drive and install to OS's will there be any affect at all on the exisitng RAID 0 consisting of bays 2-4, which has only media, and it is backed up.

Will there be any affect at all? Total destruction? Somewhere in between?

Oh and does any one know a good tutorial on installing a dual boot system drive from the ground up?

I expect to transfer my old downloads and documents by simple file copy from the old drive in a cradle.
