An odd RAID question
My motherboard, a Soyo KT400 has onboard RAID, which is cool. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1, which is also cool. I however only have 2 hard drives, so I can't setup 0+1 in a standard manner.
To make things more complicated, the system's a dual boot with WinXP Pro and Win2k Advanced Server (I'm studying for MCSA). So what I'd like to do is to use the mirroring capability of both of those OSs to create a software mirror, and thus (sort of) have both a stripe (hardware) and a mirror (software) using only two hard drives.
There are two problems that I'm facing. I've already installed both OSs and I'm going to have to change both drives to dynamic instead of basic. In the past when I've done this and had a dual boot system, I've lost the second OS. That's problem #1. In addition, I vaguely remember reading somewhere that I'll have to edit the boot.ini file to be able to mirror both OS's in a dual boot system.
So, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Perseverance in all matters.
