Dont forget with mirroring disks, one is the back up, set your disks up on
mobo, should be same size and make
use nvidia controller and make sure the bios is enabled for them, when
booting press F10 (i think) for raid utility
you will find the disks then make choice for striping or mirroring in your
case and make them bootable in the
utility aswell which is the last part, then exit, put Win XP disc as first
boot in bios not floppy, when windows
starts press F6 to install the sata drivers (should be on a floppy with
mobo, or download them for your board)
press S to intall both of them and windows will install etc etc the rest is
history Raid Mirror..... done for backup
purposes, hope this helps ya dude.... just done two raptors on sli gb 8np
mobo.... to day for friend
