Firstly of course back up all your data
2 ways software or hardware RAID
(1) Hardware implies that the chipset on the motherboard if ( it is capable ) does the mirroring for you and is invisible to the the operating system. You will really need to check if your harware supports this by taking a look in the BIOS.
(2) Software RAID Windows manages the RAID the basics are to create a dynamic disk and then apply RAID - one word of warning once you convert to dynamic disk you cannot revert back.
Have a look on google for many examples on how to do this.
BIG NOTE on (1) Hardware RAID some RAID controllers claim that they are fully harwdware RAID but are not and offer a pseudo soft/hard solution which includes loading windows drivers etc I recogn this is where you'll be.
PS Before setting out on the project it would best for you to google for success/failure stories for your mobo and RAID 1
