Can i switch RAID controllers?

ok, i have an MSI board and i'm running RAID 0 with 2 80GB Seagates on a Promise RAID controller. well i want to switch it to a Shuttle board but that has a HighPoint controller. i know just switching the drives over won't work. didn't boot. so what can i do to get it to work. i tried to boot to the WinXP cd and press F6 and manually install the Highpoint RAID drivers but that didn't work. so i've searched and read that i can GHOST my RAID set up. but whenever i go into GHOST, it only sees 1 80GB harddrive and the hard drive i want to GHOST it to, it doesn't see the other 80GB drive. so do i just GHOST that 1 drive? i thought RAID 0 striped so it used both drives at once? also i was wondering, since i have a lot of programs on my computer and a lot of data, and i was foolish enough to only create 1 partition when i was setting up my RAID, is it possible to use Partition Magic and chop up my RAID 0 setup and create multiple partitions. i want to create 1 for Windows, 1 for Music, 1 for Pictures, 1 for Programs, and 1 for various things. is this possible? basically my thinking is that if i can GHOST my drive, i can set up the RAID 0 array on the HighPoint controller, go through that utility to create the array, then GHOST the image onto the array, and let XP try to find the new hardware and then install the drivers, also while setting up the array, i'd also create my partitions. you think it'd work? thanks guys.
