I have a single non-RAID SATA drive with Debian (Sarge) installed and
data on it. I also have a duplicate blank drive. I would like to
migrate from my non-RAID system to a RAID-1 (mirrored) system for
redundancy, with each disk being an exact duplicate of the other. Is
it possible to do this without having to wipe the first drive clean?
I'd appreciate a pointer to a HOWTO or recipe if it answers this
specific question.

Any recommendations for a friendly RAID and LVM management tool?

Please cc me in your reply. Thanks,
