[KLUG Members] Partitioning Raid Array on XP

Hey all:

I wanted to see if anyone has done this before and run into any
"gotchas":

I have a Windows XP box (hold the groans, eh) on a Raid Array (Promise
Fastrack ATA100) using 4 80GB IBM Deskstar 120GXPs. I got a copy of
Partition Magic 7.0 and want to set aside some space to install Linux on
this box.

Partition Magix says it can partition drives on XP, but I've never tried
with a Raid setup (my first one). Anything I should be aware of. Should
I even be attempting this ;}

Thanks all.

Alan
