no i do have 2 sata ports but the other one is labled sata1
which i thought was used to use a drive as a mirror..
so i connect the second drive to sata1 and how do i configure the raid array? is it done in bios??
You attach both drives, then when you're booting to your windows cd for the first time it asks if you need to install any 3RD party RAID controllers. Yes you want to, your motherboard should come with a floppy disk. Follow the directions.
