Also, this set up is not bootable.

Everything else you said is spot-on but this is not true. They are indeed bootable even if you're RAID'ing with Windows and not true Hardware RAID - I do it all the time; Win2K, Win2K3, you name it....

Areed. With good hardware yes, but several popular desktop chipsets do not support it, and will corrupt the boot loader. So my answer in a forum such as this is that it is not bootable.
