Installation with two existing RAID arrays
Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:59 pm
I want to install Linux Mint KDE on my Desktop, while keeping the RAID setup I have untouched.
I use linux on other computers - my skill level is medium, but I've never used RAID on it before.
I currently have two SSDs on RAID 0, and three HDDs on RAID 5. The first one currently has Windows 7, and the second one has all my personal files.
If possible, dual booting Windows and Linux on the first array would be great, but if not it doesn't matter.
Relevant specs:
64-bit AMD CPU
16 GiB RAM
MSI 990FXA-GD65 Motherboard (AMD 990FX + SB950 chipset)
2x 60 GB OCZ SATA II SSD
3x 2TB WD SATA II HDD
Thanks!
