I was recently asked if it was possible to get software RAID functionality on Windows Professional. Although Microsoft would like you to believe otherwise, it is possible. By default, Windows 2000 and XP Professional offer RAID0 (Striping), but not any of the other RAID levels. We won’t go into the debate on whether RAID0 is real RAID or not…
The information on how to do it has been around for a few years now, but Microsoft and their followers have managed to flood Googles results with information on alternative versions of Windows. Be prepared to mess with a hex editor and dll files. Read the rest at Shaggy’s software-raid page
