What Win versions have software Mirror RAID?

[xortam]

From Disk Management help file:

For step-by-step procedures on how to create, break, or repair a mirrored volume, or to add a volume to or remove a volume from an existing mirrored volume, see Manage mirrored volumes.

It also can do RAID-5 (sort of).

"Sort of" is the key word there.

NT4 workstation and win2k Pro can do striping and spanned hd.
To use mirroring or RAID-5, you need SERVER.
As for winxp, I don't know, but I don't think you can do mirroring or raid-5 here either...

""Sort of" is the key word there."

That's two words

It is there. I had to add a drive to an Emachine to make a really low end server (*Chuckles about turning an Emachine into a server.* ) and it happened to be the same exact kind as the one already in there. WHen I tried to give the HD a drive letter, it gave me the option to Raid the drive. The new drive had no info on it though before I did this.

From MS KB Article# Q2934200

SUMMARY

In the Disk Management snap-in, if you right-click a simple volume on a dynamic disk, the Add Mirror option is unavailable; you cannot create a software mirror in Windows 2000 Professional.



MORE INFORMATION

Creating a fault-tolerant (FT) sets, such as a mirrored set or a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) Level 5 (also known as striped with parity) volume, is not available on computers running Windows 2000 Professional. This option is available only in Windows 2000 Server products. However, you can use a computer that is running Windows 2000 Professional to create mirrored volumes on a remote computer that is running Windows 2000 Server.

This should ALWAYS be your first place you look:
