RAID - XP & Red Hat duel boot

[Dennis Castanos]

I have two 40mg hard drives.  Will red hat raid work with a XP & Red Hat dual boot? My
motherboard has a Promise IDE RAID Chip.  Any input would be helpful.

40 meggers will be 10+ year old dynosaurs, probably with an MFM or scsi 
interface.

Did you mean to say 40Gb?

ST-506 most likely. (I have a pair of maybe still working 19 MEG disks
from my old CP/M 2.2++ system. Er the "++" indicates I rather hacked it
a LOT.)

So do I, a pair of 20 meg seacrates and a ten meg tandon.  They work fine 
if I bump the seacrates to break the stiction.  Or did the last time they 
were powered up 3 years ago.  My old office coco system.

40 gig - sorry about that.  I just wanted to know if XP and Fedora 5 will work with the XP
& Fedora partition?  Also, does Fedora have its own Raid software?

I'm dual booting an HP lappy, but on one drive, I shrank the winderz 
partition down to 20 gigs & gave linux the rest.  As for two drives, read 
all you can find on 'menu.lst' (everybody else) and 'grub.conf' and howto

do that with two drives should become apparent.  I was doing that with 2 
drives on another box, but had to replace the mobo, and this new mobo 
somehow gets confused by having a slave drive on the primary cable, so 
that 2nd drive is now disconnected.  Besides, 60GB is 10x more than enough 
for a milling machine. :)

Hint, when it was working, I used only one /boot partition, and did all the 
tricks in the appropriate grub stanza.  2 bootable partitions also seems 
to confuse things no end.

I believe the kernel has an 'md' module for that, but from recent 
discussions on lkml, it may not be 100% stable, so you may want to follow 
that thread for current advice.
