    I recently upgraded to a Western Digital 80gb 7200rpm 8mb buffer hard
    drive, but it ended up being defective and crapped out on me after only
    a day. I sent it back, but the RMA process was going to take two weeks,
    so I went to Circuit City and bought myself another one. Well, the
    online store would'nt refund my first drive and I just got my
    replacement via FedEx a few days ago. I have already setup and installed
    by dual-boot system with Windows 98SE and FC2 on the second drive, and I
    don't want to have to reformat and reinstall everything again. Would it
    be possible to setup a striped RAID 0 array on my current setup, or
    would I have to reformat? Would I have to configure Windows and Linux
    each seperatley to use the RAID array, or is that independent of the OS?
    I don't have a RAID card yet, but getting one is no problem.

    Thanks,
    Andrew
