Do research about the ide raid to see if it is supported in linux. If you have dough to burn, consider 3Ware ide raid cards. They are real hardware raid unlike Promise ones.

I have got a machine with 2 hds a 80 gb and an 160gb. The 80 gb dsk has a 20 gb ntfs partition for that other o/s! What I would like to do is set up linux (MDK 10.1) on the rest of the 80gb dsk for the user of that pc and have the 160gb dsk can be used by all the other machines on the network using samba. I want to set the linux machine up as a central file storage / print server for all the rest of the networked pc's. I am thinking of putting an ide raid card in latter on (after xmass) and adding dsks to the shared space as and when I can afford it. Any advice ?
