The RAID/mirror drive (2nd drive) would include everything on the primary 1st drive including the OS.  This would allow you to boot from it if the 1st drive failed.

For Windows XP, if you don't have a motherboard yet for this system, you could get a board with built-in RAID capability.   Or you can use a file synchronization software such as:

  I just checked out the link about mirrored drives with XP, they say its 
  possible with RAID drives, i have just ATA100... Guess installing a new OS 
  in the second disc could be an option too...

  I use Windows 2000 as an operating system for my music PCs.  It has giving 
  me little to no troubles with music related software and drivers.  The 
  instructions for creating a mirror drive in Windows 2000 is located here:

  Other MS operating systems can also be mirrored with hardware and/or 
  software products.  Here is a link with some discussions on RAIDS, mirrors 
  and XP:

  What MS OS do you intend on using on this PC ?

     Bob,

     you said youd use a second Harddisc as a shadow of the first one, how 
  youd
     do that, copy all its content and set the HDsks to Cable Select?
