Hi!
I have an external casing of 2 HD each ( same disk )
I created a RAID in OSX.
But it's not showing up in OS9.
Please advice

Cheers!

As far as I know, RAID isn't really supported in OS 9 unless you have some third party app performing the software RAID. I could be wrong, but in all my years using OS 9 and below i've never seen this option available. Usually, when Apple had beefy servers available before OS X, they would run AIX. The Apple Network Server series of servers run this.
 
Exactly what 'nixgeek said: if you set up a software RAID in OS X, then it won't be usable under any operating system other than OS X (unless, of course, you're accessing it over a network -- then it's platform-independent).

If you would like a RAID that will be usable under both OS 9 and OS X, I would suggest getting your hands on a PCI ATA RAID card, which will do hardware RAIDing (much faster than software RAID!) and will be usable under both OS 9 and OS X. The Sonnet Tempo RAID card is a great one:
