Ok, Ive got windows installing on my primary 60 gig drive, I needed to install the raid drivers to install xp... SO!, I want to add another 60 gig drive in my secondary space. Do I have to install raid drivers for that drive too???? im so confused.

drivers are for the raid adapter/interface, not the drives. If you intend on adding a second drive in there, the question you should be asking yourself is raid0 or raid1.

You will have to partition it etc.. but basically yes.
