I have a current working WinXP installation on a P4P800e Deluxe with Seagate
160Gb SATA drive, and I want to add another identical drive to create a RAID
1 mirror. I need to avoid losing data or bootability on my current drive.
Last time I tried this on a P4P800-d, I lost access and had to reinstall.

What is the best proceedure to add 2nd SATA drive and create RAID1 while not
destroying the parent drive?

Thanks.

much different?
