windows xp - how to undo my RAID 0 setup while preserving data?

I currently have a RAID 0 setup with 2 drives with a single partition which holds my OS on it. Now I want to take one of those drives out and put them into another computer. But I want to keep my OS and all the files on the partition and move onto 1 drive.


I'm only using 144 GB of my RAID which consists of two 250 GB drives so there's no concern that the data won't fit.


I'm guessing the way to go is make a clone of my OS partition, disassemble the RAID, and then restore the partition to my drive of choice. The partition is NTFS, and I have both an internal 500GB disk and a 500GB external which could serve as a bridge for the disk image.


My question is what tools exist for this? And what are the implications with the MBR considering its my boot partition?


OS is Windows XP.
