linux/win32 dual boot

[Holodoc]

hi there

i'd like to set up a linux/winxp dual boot system.
my problem: no linux distribution does properly
support my promise fasttrak133 onboard ata raid
controller. so i would like to try installing it
on a single disk connected to standard ata ports.

would this work? where will the mbr and the
linux bootloader be installed to? (on which disk)

or does anyone know a linux distribution that
has full support for FT133 controllers?

but don't tell me to compile a new kernel. i'm
a linux n00bie :-)






HW config

MSI MS-6704, Intel 845PE, onboard FT133 Lite
2 Hitachi 7k250 80 GB HDD's, RAID 0

many thanks

It will work. Since Linux can't even see the other drives, it will go to the new one. The MBR for Linux will be on the new drive. You will need a 3rd-party bootloader. This one rox:

I second BpB.

I use Bootit NG and it is a very good bootloader and makes excellent outside of OS images.
