You want to mirror your hard drive. This is fine... it's a common practice. But XP does not support software mirroring. You need to do this through hardware. To do this through hardware, you need a controller that supports Mirroring (RAID 1). MANY boards have RAID controllers built-in. But not all. If you have or get a board that doesn't, you can buy a RAID controller fairly cheaply (as little as $20 at newegg.com).

What is CP1-DUO-E660? It looks like a part number - from a web site? What?
