Right now I have xp installed on my computer and just ordered 8 gigs of ram and vista. I would like to keep my xp install bootable and add a bootable vista install. I am wondering if I can do a raid 0 array and keep this harddrive on the motherboard. The motherboard says it supports raid 0 1 5 but for the life of me I cannot find if you can have a raid array and a normal drive on it at the same time (assuming I can, but don't want to order 2 hard drives if I only can use a non raid array) All 3 hard drives would be SATA connected and the motherboard has 4 sata connectors.
The specific motherboard is p5n-e sli which is a 650i board.

edit: I finally looked through all of the manual and on page 2-33 it says that you can enable or disable raid for each of the 4 SATA connectors. I could simply enable it for the 2 I want to use in raid and then leave the other hard drive I have connected disabled and have that work the way I want then, correct?
