You will need a Vista driver for your RAID controller. Software RAID 1
(mirroring) is not supported in Vista but it wasn't in XP either so you must
be using hardware RAID which is supported if you have a driver for the
controller card. I'm a little confused about your question. Did someone
install Vista for you and break the mirror in the process? Do you now want
to recreate the mirror? If this is what you are trying to do then you'd have
to check the documentation for your hard drive controller. Some will build a
mirror of an existing drive some won't. Whatever you do make sure you have a
backup before trying it.
