I have at the moment two IDE hard drives with various systems installed. For my next system I have purchased two SATA drives and a RocketRaid 1720 controller in order to install Fedora 7 on a RAID1 configuration. The SATA disks are physically installed and hardware configured as wanted and I now have following three drives: sda which is the RAID1 disks and sdb and sdc being the two IDE disks. The software installed on the IDE drives should remain untouched. Installation of Fedora 7 on sda proceeds seemingly without problems. I designate sda to be boot device and partition it according to my planned layout; and this works fine. However, when I come to installing the boot loader it insists on placing it on sdb. I dare not continue because I don't like if it overwrites areas my old drives. I would prefer to have it on the RAID1 drive, which is sda, but don't see how I can do that. Is it at all possible? And how do I prevent it from overwriting stuff on my old drives? If I physically disconnect the two IDE drives during the installation, where will the boot loader then be located? Hope someone can shed some light into this, Thanks in advance,
