Software RAID 1 on extrnal USB drives?

[Baron Samedi]

It seems that wnodws will only let me make dynamic disks (RAID 1) on
internal drives. I don't have spacew internally. Does anyone know how
to get mirror RAID in software on XP?

Thanks in advance.

Actually windows should have nothing to say about a RAID set,youre set should
already be configured before windows,it gets set in youre BIOS & post BIOS
RAID configuration setting (MS-DOS)..One can add,& make up a set in windows,
RAID 1 is mirrored,as is RAID 0..As for software,use the RAID software for
the
installed controller ICH5 6,7,8,or ICH9,are intels,silicon image
also.Review youre
boards features for info,or run intel chipset identification utility from
intel downloa-
ds/chipset/software....

Windows XP does have a software RAID. However, Microsoft has
purposely made any external hard drive (USB and Firewire) not to be
able to boot any Windows XP.
