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.
