Question about RAID (P4C800)

[noone]

I have a P4C800-Deluxe mobo, my 2 main drives are both 160GB SATA drives
(connected to SATA1 and SATA2). I have 2 additional 160GB SATA drives
connected to SATA-RAID1 and SATA-RAID2.

Using the onboard Promise 378 RAID controller, is it possible to MIRROR
SATA1 to SATA-RAID1 and SATA2 to SATA-RAID2 ? There is also a PRI_RAID_IDE
connector on the board, but nothing is connected.

Thanks.

I have the E-Deluxe with the same Promise controller but I have the Intel
ICH5R controller too. I have set up a RAID 0 on the Intel for OS/Programs
and a second RAID 0 on the Promise. I asked on this ng recently whether I
could add another pair of drives (PATA ones) to the Promise controller to
Mirror the other two on this controller and whilst this is perfectly
feasable apparently you have to do it at the time you setup your system, for
some reason you can't do it subsequently, which is a shame as I have come a
long way since my setup a month ago.

do you (or anyone else) have any better documentation for setting this
up ? i don't mind re-doing my system (cmon, i'm on xp, i'm used to it

but the docs (and manual) that i have found are terrible. if anyone else
has done this, any help is greatly appreciated.

many thanks.

No I haven't - I have received excellent advice though via the forums at
