>From the way you have phraised it, it doesn't sound like you are running it in RAID-0 mode but in JBOD mode or Just a bunch of drives. thus two 40gig drives become 80 gigs. RAID-0 mode of two 40 gig hard drives means that you have 40 gigs of hard drive space but the information on each drive mirrors the other and both have MBR masterboot record where a software raid-0 if the MBR is distroyed your out of luck.
As for your second problem try selecting server mode instead of workstation partitioning and that might alieve the error message. I have seen that work once selecting have the installed do it for you in redhat 7.2 or 7.3 Also I am somewhat new so find out other peoples answers befor totally deciding to do anything. I have more hardware to backup to than most people and I'm not sure what information you might lose as you mentioned.
