    I'm trying to install Fedora Core 3 test 64 bit on a RAID array and the
    install goes fine (Fedora sees the RAID and auto partitions [I'm new at all
    this] the array, installs the "bootloader" GRUB for dual boot. After
    rebooting the computer (setting the BIOS to SCSI for 1st device boot) it
    hangs at "GRUB". I must explain that I have windows installed on my other
    IDE HD hence the need for a dual boot. Is it possible to have Linux on a
    RAID array and windows on an IDE drive and dual boot? If so, what I'm I
    doing wrong? I posted this question on the REDHAT INSTALL newsgroup and
    somebody said that I should try to boot with the SCSI as first boot device.
    I tried that and it still hanges at the GRUB prompt. Any suggestions?

    Thanking you all in advance
    D

    System:

    Athlon 64 3200
    Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 Pro
    1 GB DDR ram
    nVidia 5800 256 MB 8X agp video card
    two 36 GB WD raptor SATA hard drives on the RAID array striped 0
    one WD JB 60 GB IDE HD for data and WINDOWS
