    I have 2x500 gb HD's raid0 striped and I want to add another 500 gb HD that I have laying around to run a dual boot vista ultimate x64. Will it be ok to do or will there be a problem since my bios is set for raid?

    -thanks :)

    Your BIOS may be set to boot from the RAID array first... but that shouldn't be any problem setting the machine up for a dual boot.

    How do you set the machince up for dual boot? I have it on my desktop and haven't had enough time to figure it out.

    Thanks in advance,

    So if I want to dual boot to separate HD's all I need to do is pop in another HD, reboot with (in my case x64 operating system disk), select that HD to install and away I go right?

    -thanks and hopefully this week i will have time to mess around with this.
