View Single Post - Partitioning/Dual-booting a RAID array

edvallie · Rated XXX

Well a few days ago I finally got around and found the nvraid drivers off the DFI website, threw them on a floppy, installed a floppy drive, and setup my machiene to run RAID 0.

Now a couple days later I decide I want to try out Fedora Core 6, so I'm kind of Iffy to see if it will work. I download partitionmagic and resize the C: drive to leave 60gb open. During the fedora setup i take 30 of that 60 and install the filesystem. Everything in the installer runs fine, then it tells me to remove the media and reboot. Everything still going okay at this point. Then I reboot and try to load fedora but just get errors while trying to process the boot files for the OS. I'm thinking it wrote onto 2 harddrives and was trying to read off of one? Or vice-versa?

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep the RAID array and still be able to dual boot? If not, am I able to somehow use a single disk to run Fedora, while preserving the RAID array for my windows partition. Maybe there are some kind of linux drivers i need to throw onto a floppy, like with windows, to get this working?

The final product will hopefully be 25gb Ubuntu/1gb swap 25gb fedora/1gb swap and the rest kept in windows.

Any help is appreciated. Wave
