Install Linux Onto RAID0 With Windows?

[daryll]

Hi,

Ive currently got windows installed on RAID0 with 2 partitions (one for OS and one as a store), is there anyway to install Linux in a dual boot setup without recreating the array?

Ive tried Fedora & Suse, Suse wants to wipe the lot and start again & Fedora says it cant install anywhere, although it spots the array.

Why not try the VMWare route if you can't get it on otherwise? That's how I'm doing it.

Is the problem with the controller?

I might just do that Used to use VMWare all the time about a year ago..completely slipped my mind as an option..Thanks for reminding me

From what ive read online it seems to be due to the sata raid controller not being true raid and linux seeing it as fake-raid..

in which case vmware is definately the path of least resistance.
