You cannot manually copy the drive's contents and have it boot. You can copy the entire drive to a new one using disk copy, drive image, or ghost.
Win 2000 Pro has shitty support for mirroring, and even if it did have good support, on a PC... your best bet is to start with a clean drive and enable mirroring before installing the OS. If you're gonna re-load your OS, do your self a favor and upgrade to XP. You can install your raid drivers at the beginning of the setup and save yourself a lot of headaches.
