    I currently run Win2k on a MSI board with onboard RAID. I have 2 mirrored
    drives. I have tried to install Fedora Core1 onto the unused space on the
    disks. Although it installs it doesn't recognise the Promise raid array and
    treats the two drives as different drives and installs partitions on both
    drives.

    The GRUB loader is not reconised at boot up as it is not on the RAID array.
    I have now deleted Fedora - any ideas how I can add Fedora across the Raid
    array and keep my Win2k installation?
