Another Hard Drive With An Addtional Xp Setup...

Hello All. Have just got an XPS 720 and have put another two 500gig seagate drives in. When i try to setup windows Xp as a clean install onto the new drive  i have to set the Drive to boot in the Raid Setup (CTRL+N) on bootup. Is there a easier way to install XP on a new Hardrive so i can Dual Boot?
Any help appreciated.

    you only need to go to the raid setup if you want to set up raid configuration..i dont think you can have a dual boot with one side in raid and the other not..

    Davet50, firstly thanks for the reply. I have put 2X500 Gig drives in the XPS. I want the orginal XP as my main everyday use and the additonal drives set up as one drive so i can install XP and use that for FlightSim X and Music etc. I can see the drive and have set it up as a Raid Striping Drive, this shows up in the Nvidia Storrage Control Panel. How do i set up Windows XP on that drive so i just have the option to dual boot when windows starts?
