"You can extend or mirror dynamic volumes
and add new dynamic disks without restarting the computer"
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/hs_exploring_windows.mspx
Leads me to believe that you can, but, I have seen
other places that specifically say that you can't.
I think the confusion is caused by the fact that XP Pro allows
you to remotely connect to Win2000 system and do
administrator functions on them. I think the Add Volume for XP Pro
is only allowed on the target machine when you are remotely
connected.
My mobo BIOS supports RAID. I think I will use that instead.
