I have an A8N-SLI Premium motherboard.

I cannot find any information or documentation on how to create a RAID 1 (mirror) array on an existing non-raid XP install. I do not want to reinstall XP, just create a mirror of my working OS. The Nvidia raid bios utility is scary in how little information it gives. I do not want to accidently erase the "source" drive. The Silicon Image bios controller is better, but I want to be able to boot from the Nvidia RAID.

This seems like something that should be easy to do, I just can't locate the procedure and do not want to hose my OS.

Also, I cannot find the NVRAID and NVRAIDMAN utilities on the A8N-SLI Premium CD or on the NVIDIA website. Does anyone know where to get them?

Thanks.
