Try this, Install OS on 1 drive, then use Nvidia media shield in windows to convert to a mirrored array.

"Using Nvidia Media Shield"

Do you know what nforce chipset it is?

We did this, although it blows away your data. Still, the problem is that we can't get hold RAID drivers, only non-RAID (IDE) driver is available from Dell it seems. XP or Server 2003 bluescreens when you try install a fresh version (without F6 option) with drivers available from Microsoft (2003 SP1).

I downloaded and checked the inf file, looks like this can be used on any PC or NT software.
