Hi have a Silicon Image 0680 RAID Controller with two 120 GB IBM
Harddisks and a RAID 0 Set. I have partitioned this set in 3 parts:
Windows , part for data, and 20GB rest free for Linux.

I wanted to Intall Linux SUSE 9.0 to this rest of hraddisk-space but
in the installation the disks are not given as one array and i canīt
create an Linux Array because the windows and data part would be
deleted in this case...

Can somebody help me??

please...
