Question for Dr.Feelgood:
I have WinXP on my main hdd...on partition C. This hdd also has D and E partitions. And then i have IDE RAID0 (partitions G and H). Now...if i format the RAID hdd's (both partitions)...and try to install vista there...whats the best way to do it? Either to first switch drives in bios...so that RAID drives would be boot drive...and install then...or just format and install on the current configuration...so...reboot...boot from vista dvd...and voila...set install drive as this RAID drives...and thats it?
The reason i ask this is that in the past...when i tried to have xp's on both (non raid) hdd's...at some times it said that ntdl or something like that, driver was missing and it wouldnt boot (and that driver always installs on C partition (disk?). So would both drives have that driver (or whatever other such driver Vista uses) or not? 
Point is that i would like to have both hdd's bootable even if i remove any one of them and try to boot from single hdd (either the one with vista or xp).
Thanks in advance.  
EDIT:
Or is it best to install Vista with only drives that i intend to have Vista on, connected? And same for every other OS you install? And later maybe connect them all at once and select the one you want to boot from? Or what?
