If you can get it to work I would go with a RAID-5 configuration.

Why would the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) have anything to do with
RAID configuration?

RAID 1 ? Also known as Mirroring. If 1 drive fails you have a clone. It
doesn't prevent you from hosing the data on both copies or other acts of
nature tho, so you still need backups.

XP PRO most definitely supports RAID configurations. The MOBO may or may not as well as the HD configuration--you must have to identical disks that support SATA.
