[Tony <tonymisner1983@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just built a new rig with 2 10,000rpm SATA hard
drives. I have them setup in RAID 0 in WinXP Pro. I am
totally new to any linux, but I thought I would give
SuSE a try since I like playing with new things and
its 64bit compatible. Anyways, I have yet to install
SuSE 9.1 cause when I start the installation one of
the first messages goes something like this:

This system has at least one hard disk w/ a RAID
configuration sold by the BIOS as RAID that is in fact
a software RAID.
(then the last part of the message states)
If you do an installation on these Disks your RAID
configuration and any Data on the RAID will be lost!

Now I was just wondering if this means it will erase
WinXP and my other files off my drives? Should I just
continue through the normal installation? I am
completely new but would like to experience the whole
linux world. I have AMD64 3200++ and SuSE Linux Pro
9.1. Please help me out. Thanks, tony.
