Using Windows XP Professional I want to set up a raid 5 array, how do I accomplish the task?

You need a RAID 5 capable controller & at least 3 identical hard drives.
One entire hard disk's space will be lost to redundancy.
The card alone may cost you hundreds of dollars.
(it requires SCSI or PCI_X slot)
There is no software solution for RAID 5.
It is way "overkill" on a workstation PC ...

IF your bios doesn't support it, you don't. If it does, then you go into the raid utility upon boot, and do it there.
