Um, I haven't done such a mixed installation, but that nvidia softraid is likely to give you grief, and even if the motherboard dies on you, and you want to get back at your data. Doesn't newer (XP and 2003 etc.) do a soft RAID of it's own, so you can skip this BIOS soft RAID monstrosity? I don't think you're getting a major tradeoff out of this, maybe a little less performance under Windows, but better performance under Linux. > I haven't really found much documentation on this: is this supported from the > debian installer on amd64? Or is it manual work? You probably will need a very recent kernel, and I'm not too sure whether the nvidia soft RAID is binary-only driver? (just a speculation, don't know). -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
