There is another way if you buy a motherboard that has a IDE/RAID controller "onboard" Like the gigabyte GA-8i945P-G. It has a hardware type of RAID that does the work independant of the CPU. Unlike other software RAID controllers(that use the CPU power). I think "Promise" (the company) has highly recommended controllers from what Ive heard. But they are pricey. This is a add on card too.
And you are right XP home does not support dynamic disks, however it may allow a controller to if it has the software I think like Stressfreesoul said.
I am running a RAID 0 setup with an onboard controller.
See Ya
