[QUOTE="moonie, post: 376774"] [b]breaths in[/b] For your first question: Answer Yes General info [url]http://www.sunstarco.com/Education/What%20is%20.....htm[/url] Yes technically you could create separate "array sets" using one drive per array set. Generally you define the individual drives as raid 0, which normally consists of more than one drive per array. That stated.. You do not want to do this because raid adapters are not optimized for running single disk "arrays". Raid 5 is you better choice. Go into the raid bios setup and select the 2 drives, choose raid 5 for the raid type. Initialize the newly created array set. Depending on the adapter the initialization may run in the background and allow you to actually start a Windows install before it's complete. I would recommend you allow the process to complete before a OS install. Forget about creating partition from within the raid setup, just create one large logical disk in the raid setup. Makes no sense attempting to create partitions before the OS install. With WK2003, you can easily create the first partition for the install, then go into Disk manager after the initial install, and created the remaining partitions. You will need to press F6 to install drivers for the raid when prompted at the very beginning of the Windows 2003 setup. Familiarize yourself with the raid options before proceeding, many options can be reconfigured anytime such as caching choices, others can not. Having the OS and data on separate partitions is a wise choice. I have had corruption due to the OS rendering the system partition useless.. deleted the OS partition on purpose.. but in all cases I have never lost the secondary data partitions due to damage to the system partition. Generally go with the raid adapter default, as far as "stripe" size, which is not the same as stripe width, which refers to the number of disks in an array set. If your in Disk Manager, do not even think of making the array a Dynamic disk. 2nd Question Answer Yes General info [url]http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/[/url] OSL2000 Boot Manager Home page [url]Http://www.osloader.com/[/url] or [url]Http://tinyurl.com/64tow[/url] List of features [url]Http://www.osloader.com/features.htm[/url] It lets you have independent copies of Windows.
