Thanks again, Phillip.  Does that mean I should start over?  Will this
work with dual boot?

I have been trying to follow the instructions given on 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto.
I had to create a /target directory before I could bind to it.

r...@ubuntu:/# dmraid -a y
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0" already active
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume01" already active
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume02" already active
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume03" already active
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume05" already active
RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume06" already active

r...@ubuntu:/# grub --no-curses

It worries me that grub reports the mirrored volumes separately:

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,4)
 (hd1,4)

Then I tried this:

grub> root (hd0,4)
root (hd0,4)
grub> setup (hd0)
setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...  17 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed

Error 22: No such partition

Now, I tried again and got:

setup (hd0)

Error 12: Invalid device requested

So what is your advice?  Have I wiped out my original raid configuration by 
writing to hd0?
Should I give up on dual boot?  (I backed up my Windows 7 and could live 
without it).
Advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Herb
