so you're basically talking about spanning drives, aka raid 0. this is dangerous only because if one drive fails, they all fail ( data-wise ) if you want to do this, you already have the raid controller, you just have to use the manual, specific to your raid bios, to setup the raid. Performance-wise this is the best option! I dont see why you would have any issue getting this setup, if you dont need anything off the harddrives wipe them and install xp on the master drive, you should be good to go after that.
