It's the total array size, NOT the volume size. This means that you cannot RAID *any* 1.5 TB drives, even a simple RAID 0 or RAID 1 with 2 drives, because that makes the ARRAY size 3 TB.

Sorry, but the only way you can use an array larger than 2 TB is as a GPT storage array, it cannot be made bootable even if you partition it, and you must use Server 2003, Server 2008, XP 64, or Vista.

Bottom line, upgrade to XP 64 or Vista, and use a separate boot drive.
