If the RAID is working correctly, XP should only see one drive in Disk Management.

The NForce RAID driver had it's own raid manager util that should allow you to create a mirror set whilst running under XP (I'll be trying this shortly). You should have XP loaded on one drive and an unused/unformated/unpartitioned secondary drive. If both SATA channels are configured for RAID in the BIOS, the NVRaid manager should see both drives and allow you to mirror the primary disk on to the second. (Thats the theory - will be trying this weekend!)
