Is there a guide that helps you through the installation of Arch64 on RAID 0 configured HDDs?
I've already looked through this guidehttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM
but preparing the harddrives is different for me so I was unable to even get started.
What happens is, I boot up the CD and go straight to /arch/setup. And I go through prepare harddrive and partition. It's split into three cases /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/md0. And I can't do it through /dev/sda because it gives me an error, and through /sdb it tells me my capacity is 80GB which accounts for one of my HDs.
Anyway, I hope someone can help, and thank you for taking the time to read through my problem.

/dev/md0 is the name of your RAID-device. sda and sdb are the seperate disks. Remember that you can't boot RAID0, unless it's on some expensive hardware controller. To circumvent this, you can create a 50MB partition on both your drives for /boot, and use the rest of the disks to create a RAID0 array.

Well I have an NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA RAID Controller.
But I was just thinking if it would be easier to just turn RAID off and run Windows on my on HDD and linux on the other, would it be safe to do so?

Turning off RAID will destroy the array so it's not safe for your data unless you have a proper backup. Apart from that, I don't see why it wouldn't be safe or not safe. What do you mean exactly by "safe"?

I think I'm fine, I already backed up all my data, so I guess I'll just fiddle with the settings a bit.
