Questions about RAID1

I've posted this question a few days ago in the section
computer
knowledge
( also on tomshardware but no respons yet ) and somebody
told me to try
and repost it in an other section like overclocking forums
or something
like that

I took a look at the recommended groups and saw this one
so here is the repost
------------------------------------------------
Hi everybody. I've just bought an extra hard drive of 250GB
and I
already had one of 120GB.
I'd like to put them in RAID 1 to backup My Documents in a
easy way
But I'm not familiar with RAID.
Can somebody answer the following questions?

Is it possible to put a hard drive of 250 GB in RAID1 with a
hard drive
of 120GB and mirror the one of 120GB on the 205GB HD AND use
the free
space (250>120) to run XP and other software?
Or do I have to make a partition on the biggest hard drive
to make this
possible?
And then again, is it possible to put a
"partitioned" hard drive in
RAID1 without causing problems?

Does someone have an answer to my question
