Sotware array or virtual array

You can set up RAID 0 or RAID 1 with just NT4 Server. Use the Disk Administrator.
You need two or more disks. Ctrl+Click the partitions (or empty space) you want to mirror or stripe and apply. Windows will want to restart a couple of times and then it will rebuild the array. So long as you do things correctly you won't lose a thing.
I highly recommend you don't use RAID 0 on any machine unless absolutely necessary. RAID 0 arrays are twice (some studies suggest even more) as likely to have a catastrophic failure than a single drive.
