Well, I just installed my other 80gb hard drive in as slave rather than trying to setup a RAID array right now. I am trying to decide what to do with it. I am thinking that I could have Windows on one drive and Linux on the other, but that would force me to reinstall one of them, and I would prefer not to. Is it better to have the OS' on seperate drives or the primary drive? <snip>
I like to have one OS per drive, since Windows like a bad child can't play well with others it's nice to be able to just unplug the ribbon to the drive when things go wrong. Grub didn't set up my win98 drive well but I found a fix. I got FC2 going with one drive in, then added the win drive as a slave. Here is my /etc/grub.conf
