you have to put them in raid 0 or 1. I think u have to set it in the bios, but i have never done it.

Do a google on how to do a repair install to get rid of the NTLDR error.

You cannopt turn your system and second HD into 1 drive without formatting and setting up a RAID-0 array. Also, your IDE/SATA controller needs to support it.

I would suggest you resize your current XP partition using Partition Magic and create a 2nd partition on driveA. Then use XP's dynamic drive feature to setup a software raid config using the 2nd partition on driveA and the main partition on driveB.

Only available in XP Profesional.

Also before putting your hard drives in raid make sure they are the exact same model and size otherwise it wont work.

Dynamic software RAID should work with same sized partitions.
