I am about to embark setting up RAID 1 (mirroring) with two identical 1TB drives on my newly upgraded desktop. Although it is a bit more fiddly using Linux, it would not normally be a problem.
However, I run a dual boot desktop with XP. I cannot see that I can do so having both Ubuntu and XP on the same master 1TB drive. In the past I have run dual boot using separate drives and think this is my only solution. As I can run up to six SATA drives, that is no problem My plan is to install XP on its own drive. Then I install Ubuntu as a dual boot setup on one of the 1TB drives and configure RAID 1 at the same time. Any thoughts from some of you? I would prefer just using the two drives as Ubuntu shares data files, which I would like mirrored, with XP. I need XP for some of my media applications as there is no Linux equivalent and they will not run in WINE, even the latest version.
