I'm trying to figure something out. Right now I have two hard drives. A 200 gig master IDE drive for Win XP, and an 80 gig IDE slave drive for Linux. Everything works great.
My goal is so successfully set up a Raid 1 setup (mirroring) with a pair of identicle 250 gig 16 meg buffer 7200 RPM Serial ATA 300 drives, using a 30 gig partition for Win XP and the remaining 220-ish gig for Linux.
So, what should I install first? I thought since Win XP would be the smaller partition, it would be wiser to put Win XP first. So I tried that. Then for the life of me I couldn't get Win XP to connect to the internet. So I said **** with it and went to install Linux. But thinking about it now, I guess if I would make a 220 gig partition for Linux, then when I add Win XP it would kick it to the end of the hard drive to use the remaining 30 gigs. Right?
Anyway... I'm completely lost. I have Linux installed on the first SATA hard drive, but I have no idea what I'm doing with RAID. No idea how to set it up. No idea at all. I hear it's simple as **** so I'm hoping a few small tips are all I need.
