On second thought, if you want it to boot from the array, it is not that simple. The drivers have to load before the boot sequence in that case. And you have to reinstall Windows, etc. If you boot from your existing drive and want to set up two other drives as a data raid you just need to load the raid drivers, if you MB is raid capable. Confusing, heh?
