Hello, My computer runs winXp 32 (dont dare try 64beta yet), and i recently got medium speed internet of the kind you dont pay for hour or Gb (english is not my native tongue, so have patience). I dont want to leave windows connected to the internet (because of viruses). So I want to install some linux that can be safely left alone online. The problem is I have 2 120Gb Sata disks in RAID 0 for speed. Before knowing this was a problem I downloaded SUSE 10.1 64bits and it gave me this message when i tried to install
-----
WARNING: The system has at least one hard disk with a RAID configuration presented by the BIOS as RAID that is in fact a software RAID. The following disks were detected as part of such a RAID:
/dev/sda /dev/sdb
The Linux kernel 2.4 supported some of thse systems (like Promise FastTrack and HighPoint RocketRaid), but the Linux kernel 2.6 does not support them at all.
If you install onto these disks, your RAID configuration and any data on the RAID will be lost.
------
I've read around several forums and from what i understand linux 10 and raid dont go together.
All the information on my disk is quite important and i dont want to lose it (i have backups but putting it back together...), so i dont want to break the raid
My raid is 2 120Gb configured as raid 0 with promise fasttrack 378 on an ASUS A8V-DELUXE mother. the disk is partitioned in c and d with about 7Gb unpartitioned waiting for linux, ANY linux that doesn´t require 3 years of study to install a few applications, firefox and wine, and can write in the windows partition (ntfs).
Nvidia GeForce 6600Gt
1Gb ram
any commentaries would be apreciated

Ok, so no one has any ideas.
I will kill my raid, so now I have 2 independent sata hard disks. I will install SUSE 10.1, with a total space of 30G. How should I partition this? what filesystems should I use?. Linux must be able to support 4.3G files (DVD images).
I hope someone has any ideas about this one

thank you, very informative. I'll start reading right away.
edit: very useful: More about partitioning and the comparison of file systems
