I have got the RAID up and running now. It has been running with out
any problems for the last week. I understand a lot more about RAID Arrays now.
Creating the array is the easiest part. Managing it is the hard part.
Adaptec has created the 2610AS Sata 1 RAID cards for HP and Dell. All
three of these companies and IBM now longer support this card. The
fun has been trying to get support for it. Now that I know more about
this card, I know that there is no support for it and I'm on my own
to work things out. The Adaptec software will see the RAID array but
will not do any thing else than that.
That is ok for now, As it is running fine. What I have to do now is
get a 1GB drive and use that as the "hot-swap" drive. This new drive
is the extra drive if one of the drives fails. The data will be
backed up to this drive automatically . I will loss some of the space
on the drive, seeing that the array is made up of 3 - 750GB drives.
This will be ok, I'd rather have the backup of the "hot-swap" drive
then losing any data.

So, the finals on creating a RAID array is simple.

You need a minimum of three hard drive for a RAID 5 Array and you
need one extra drive for the hot-swap - 4 drive in all. This goes for
any OS that you are using.
On the bright side, if one drive stops working you still have all
your data. Just replace the one that is now longer working and make
it the new hot-swap drive - I'm hopping that will do it.

If I get the 2160AS a 16 port Sata 1 RAID card, all the features will
work with the Adaptec program. Which I was under the impression was
there in the first place.
