Multi Boot, Ubuntu on 1 drive, Windows Raid 0 on 2 drives. Need to do this tonight
Let me state that i have no idea where to put this. It involves windows, linux, and storage (raid) but i figure id put this in the AOS section as im pretty sure it will be linux that gives me the problems.
Heres my scenario. I had been running raid 0 with 2 of my raptors (34gig) with windows installed on it. I have 4 raptors, but havnt had the time to add my 2 more raptors to the setup (and i cant find the sata cables i need). I found my sata cable for one of them and decided to throw Ubunutu on the one drive. Well, i went through the setup, picked the drive that didnt have windows on it, and installed. Go to boot up my computer hopeing to see a "Which OS Do you want to boot" screen, i am greeted with a "Disk Read Error". I panic, throw in the windows cd so i can look at my partitions, and i see my raid partition was formated. JSHLKHDLKJHDLKJFHLKJF. I am so ****ed. But, i got my copy of Vista Ultimate (MSDN <3) and i figured id give it a try. This is what i need.
Multi boot system, Vista on 2 raptors in raid 0, and my ubuntu on 1 raptor. I tried to get raid 0 across the 3 drives to work in ubuntu, and i just could not get it to install on my partition. I had the raid drivers set up, it just kept throwing me errors and what not. I want ubuntu on its own drive anyway.
How do i set up this multi boot system?
Oh i also need to get this set up tonight, so any answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
