setting up raid on win2k with2 different harddrives

[snoopy7548]

hey i was wondering how i would be able to set up a raid array on a win2k desktop with two different harddrives (seagate 80gig SATA which is already in the computer and has windows and everything on it. and a brand new seagate 120gig ATA hd with nothing on it). what would be the best raid option? i pretty much want to keep everything i have on my 80 gig and just add the 120gigs because im running out of space.

i also have the asus k8v mobo

Why do you want the RAID? Speed? Fault tolerance?

is raid even necessary? could i just install the 2nd harddrive as a slave drive and it will show up in my computer as like g: or something? sorry i really dont know much about installing new harddrives.

You don't need a RAID to add another drive. Just hook it up and boot the machine. You can then go into Windows disk management and initialize the drive and then partition it.
