Yes you can and you should find it in the same place as in windows XP it should be under Control Panel-->Administrator Tools--> Computer Management and then under storage you should be able to set up raid 1, 0 or 5 all you need to do is set it up using the wizard.

note: The disks must be dynamic and unallocated.

I am though looking in the storage part and i click the drive and i dont see anywhere to change raid.

i can convert to a dyanmic disk and there is not much more in the sotrage disk management i can do.

First you have to convert to dynamic then you have to create a new volume and it will give you the option to set it up with striped, mirrored, or raid-5....
