Tek-Tippers,

I am delving into an area I have never been before and cannot seem to find any information regarding the issue at hand. I have TWO 200GB SATA's that I would like to arrange in RAID 0 or possibly RAID 10. The part I am unsure about is can you have a Dual Boot system that's striped across one or more volumes? And just for kicks and giggles, can you have a Dual Boot system striped across one or more volumes AND have it mirrored, too (RAID 10)?

Thanks for everyone's contributions.

don't you need 4 drives for RAID 10?

are you installing both o/s in separate partitions on the RAID array - or have you another single drive too?

how serious is this project?!
