I'm using win 7.Is it possible to build RAID0 or RAID1 using 2 disk when one is not cleen?
I have 2 same hdd disks, one of them cleen and one with data. I want to build RAID0 or RAID1 (on the fly) not cleaning the second disk is it possible?

It is possible, and it's called software RAID. Follow: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/36504/how-to-create-a-software-raid-array-in-windows-7/ Under *nix machines learn about LVM.
Yes you can do this if your configuration allows the following.
Create a degraded RAID array with a the new drive and a drive missing, the unclean drive. Boot and mount that degraded RAID array. Copy over the files to the degraded RAID array from the unclean drive. Then wipe it and add it to the array. Viola, fresh new RAID array with old data intact!
