How? I tried SuSE, Fedora, Lindows & Mandrake, and couldn't find out how
to install to RAID1. All I could find said this is only possible via
software, creating a major chicken & egg situation that is complicated
by having windoze already installed using the motherboard "hardware"
RAID.
If you are refering to the Promise or similar ATA RAID controllers these are also *software* RAID since most of the RAID finctionality is performed by the driver not the card.. The only exception to this that I know of so far is the 3ware ATA RAID cards which are true hardware RAID controllers, and the driver is included in Linux as well so installation is a breeze..
