   I've tried Ubuntu and now want to install it. This is my first experience    
   with Linux.   
      
   My current setup consists of:   
   2 x WD 37.6Gb Raptor RAID stripe array (C:\) Windows XP installation   
   1 x 120Gb (D:\Documents and E:\Games)   
   1 x 120Gb (F:\Music)   
      
   I've had difficulty detecting my RAID array with software like QTParted so    
   now I'd like to repartition drive F: so I have enough space for a Ubuntu    
   installation partition, a linux temp partition and the rest of the space    
   left for my music. I have copied all my music to an external hard drive    
   while I repartition.   
      
   I'd also like to continue booting off my RAID array with an option on the    
   windows boot menu to start Ubuntu, is this possible?   
      
   Help in replies and links most welcome.   
      
   Regards,   
   Tony.
