I have 2 WD160 Drives, and xp home. I cant seem to be able to get a mirror set up for the two drives. One has data that I cannot loose, the other is empty. Do I have to reinstall the OS????

XP home and pro have no software mirroring or raid. Only server has this feature. Your only choice is a ide raid card.

Are you trying to do software or hardware RAID?

Kevin,

What is software RAID in Windows XP? What software is needed? Is there a site describing it?

Thanks,
Sandor

Sandor,

As already stated there is no software RAID in XP. I was just asking the poster in case they where trying to accomplish software RAID via XP.
