they few raid array's i have set up the disks do not need to be the same size, what it will do though is double the size of the smallest drive.... thus a 60 and 80 gig drive will result in a 120 gig array...
Hopefully you are setting up a hardware controled array, it is the only way you will see increased preformance.... windows 2k xp will allow software raid but it is NOT worth the trouble....
It will wipe all drives being inserted into the array, so you better have some kind of media to back up to for a few hours..... I recomend getting or borrowing a usb2 external drive to use for backups....
