RAID 0 - 2 Partition prolblem

[Strider]

Hi Guys,

I've got 3x36.7gb raptors in RAID 0, and I've been told if you want to install Vista and XP as a dual boot (Vista didn't like being on the same partition as XP), you need to do it on a seperate partition.

I want to create 2 partitions on the RAID, but I want to know if two paritions (one for each OS) are created on the RAID of 3 drives would the paritions be set up as either;

The first paritition would occupy the first drive and half of the second (the second would therefore occupy the other of the second drive, and all of the third)

or would each partition take up exactly half of each drive in the RAID? (ie the xp partition, would take up the first half of each, and vista would take up the second half)

How would the RAID work in this case?

Cheers in advance =)

Cool, cheers for that, I understand that the raid controller stripes a file accross the 3 disks on a single partition, but I just wanted to check with a pro before I re-install windows again =D.

Just hope this install of vista runs okay.
