I've been asked to help out a friend with installing SUSE 10 on his computer... but I'm kind of stuck for what to do... He has: nvRAID on a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI motherboard 2 x 160 GB SATA The system is already up and running nicely with the nvRAID (aka fakeraid or software raid). The disks are setup for RAID-1 (mirroring) and partitioned with 60GB for Windows (already installed an working/in use). and 2 unformatted partitions of about 60GB and 32GB. nvRAID is managing/controlling the entire 160GB. He wants SUSE10.0 installed on the 32GB RAID-1 partition. The SUSE 10 installer says that RAID is already enabled on the only two disks in the system and refers me to the KDB on suse.com. I've searched all over the place for info - and there's loads on Linux RAID which basically says, disable the BIOS software RAID and use Linux software RAID. That would work fine for us if it was a virgin system and was only going to run SUSE... but it's not and it won't. Setting up Linux software RAID is something I can usually do (on a Linux only system)... but in this case I'm a little bit out of my depth. So... is it possible to install SUSE on a system like this without breaking the existing Windows install? Do I need to find a way to "resize" the existing BIOS controlled RAID? Is that even possible? Or can I simply install and cross my fingers? I can't find any clues in the various HOWTOs for this situation... any help or suggestions would be appreciated. C.
