Re-using Raid Hard Drives

I have a Raid 0 setup on my current computer with (2) Seagate 320's. I'm going to build another computer, and instead of buying another hard drive, I want to stop using Raid 0 on my current computer, and just use one of the Seagate 320's in the new computer, and the other 320 in my current computer.

I'll be reconfiguring my current computer as well, so there will be a fresh XP install on both PC's.

Are the HDD's still both useable by themselves as long as I format them when going through the XP install? Anything I should watch out for?

Yep... you should be fine splitting the HDDs up into two systems.
