Disk mirroring is the only type of fault tolerance provided by Windows NT
Advanced Server that you can use on the system or boot partitions. You
must create disk striping, disk striping with parity, and volume sets
entirely from free disk space.
If vendor hardware implementations of fault tolerance (for example, disk
controllers that support mirroring, and RAID 5--striping with parity) are
compatible with Windows NT, then you can use them on the boot and system
partitions because they are implemented below the operating system level.
