Is it possible (after basic-dynamic conversion)to mirror
two 40GB Hardrives using only Windows XP Pro or am i
going to have to use third party software?
 
Windows XP does not have a software solution for disk mirroring.
In order to configure a mirror, you'll need to setup a
RAID configuration. This requires two identical hard
drives, a motherboard with RAID or a RAID controller
card. Then you must install Windows XP from scratch and
install the RAID drivers during setup.

Also, Windows XP will not install on a drive that was converted to
a dynamic drive.
