Dual boot with raid system

Hi

 

Does anyone know how to install Suse Linux 8.2 DVD onto a win xp running on raid drives without deleting XP.

 

Basically want a dual boot system with raid running

as far as i know (and experienced) you have to partition your raid - hdd`s into at least two partitions. one for windass and one for linux ( - / )

suse will install a boot-loader, but i don`t know if it will recognize yours on the raid, so install it, but not into the mbr (master-boot-record)

it will ask you so , during installation.

you have to find out yourself if suse-installation-wizzard will read your raid propperly, some do, some don`t.

if it says something like: unknown or unreadable partition-table, then you better stay away from it.

install linux on your IDE-hd - better anyway.

and keep win on the raid.

by the way, to partition the raid hdd`s it`s best to do it before a win.-install, using the win-cd.

partition magic can sometimes drive you crazy.

the whole thing is not very common, so messing with raid is always a challange ............. cheeeers
