basicaly i would like to do a dual boot xp/vista set up on my evga with 2x 200gb 7200:10 200gb in raid 0

now im not sure about how to partition them etc or strip size, do i create 2 partions at the begining one for each OS and put the games on the remaining partition?

thanks

well for any one thats interested i did exactly as i suspected in op

i setup raid 0 array in bios (16k stripe), booted with xp disk, then set up 3 partitions, 40/40/300 gb, done in the windows xp install menu

installed xp on first 40gb partition, then booted again with vista disk which i installed on next 40gb partition

loaded drivers in xp, restarted, loaded drivers in vista

installed games on remaning partition

easy peasy well recomended, this was the first time ive ever done a OS install as my brother usually sorts it for me
