I am pretty sure that once to set your raid array up and install windows you will not be able to add a third drive withought breaking the array and reinstalling.

You can't even do that without redoing the entire array! Welcome to Software RAID.

depends on the feature of the chipset you are using.

RAID expansion and migration are nice features

RAID expansion allows you to add more drives as you like...

RAID migration allows you to move from one form of RAID to another.

I'm not sure what chipset you're using but if it's an Intel.... Intel® Rapid Storage Technology — Supported RAID migrations

If you're a ICH10R then what you're trying to do lists there as being supported.
