Software Raid in Windows XP pro ?

[simple3]

RAID-5 volumes are not available on Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional and cannot be mirrored or extended. You can, however, use a computer running Windows XP Professional to create RAID-5 volumes on remote computers running Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.

also

Mirrored volumes are available on all computers running Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. Mirrored volumes are not available on computers running Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. However, you can use a computer running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional to create mirrored volumes on a remote computer running Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.

and

MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP Home Edition, and other operating systems lacking dynamic storage capability cannot recognize any striped volumes created by Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional. Therefore, if you create a striped volume on a dual-boot computer, that volume becomes unusable by those operating systems.

there you go i think that says it all.

Eh..


well according to M$

It r not there.

So i tried to search the forums and obviouslly i found ass and an extra pound of nothing.

So i kept the ass and decided to lose the pound.

But still. It seems that software raid is not existant. Now if anyone knows of something go ahead n tell me.

Google searches come up pretty blank also.

SO. My question is if they have no raid ability.

And win 2k does. Why is it there idea to take one step forward 3 steps back then proceed backwards till they lose site of where they started from then go ahead and travel that direction again until reaching the same desitination then repeating. Why cant the monkeys break the cycle. I mean come on. They cant all be stupid. Can they?

Blaaaaa. Stick with linux
