I'm building a new machine tonight with the following HDD configuration:
1 X 36GB OS Disc
2 x 320GB Raid 1 Array
I'm looking to make it dual boot with XP Pro 32-bit and Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Form what I've read I need to install XP first and then install Vista so that Vista can create the boot selection menu, each on a seperate partition of of the OS Drive.
However, I have some questions around the Raid:
1) Is it possible for both OS to recognise the array?
2) When do I need to build the array and install raid drivers? During the XP install, during the Vista install or following both?
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer.
