I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium and two Maxtor 300Gb SATA hard drives. One of them already has Windows XP Pro installed on it. Is it possible to setup a hardware (nvidia raid controller) RAID Mirror/1 configuration without reinstalling Windows? If so, how do I do it?

AFAIK, I don't think so. You would be using a different driver for that specific controller in non-RAID mode, and to use the RAID functionality you would have to have the RAID driver installed. That would effectively render your installation useless if you change the method in the BIOS.

I could be totally wrong though; I don't have that board.
