You need 2 indentical drives in order to make them into a RAID 1. It is becoz one drive works and the same is replicated onto the other drive. It does NOT work with 2 drives of different capacities.

You cannot configure a RAID 5 on 2 drives.

and

For now, all you can do is configure them on RAID 0 which is basically add up all of the drives for the total of 100GB in your case.

The drives you have are of IDE interface and I havent done much with IDE interface. But I am sure someone here will be able to help you configure RAID on an IDE.

All I know is how to configure it on SATA interface.

Good luck.
