If you want to make the raid 1 in the bios, you'd first need to let us know if you have a SAS5iR, SAS6iR, PERC5i or PERC6i (these are the raid controllers that can do raid 1 (and the PERCs can do more than that too) on this system).

I believe your current CD should be able to make the raid 1, and then when you get to the OS install section see if you can back out of that so it makes the raid 1, but then does nothing else. Then you'd boot to the Windows 2008 DVD and install it.
Is this means that with my current CD, i can make raid 1? How can i do that? can u explain me more easier?
