Installing Arch on a previous RAID0 with XP

I'm about to install Arch on RAID0 that also has windows XP.  I'm going to use the archwiki on raid/lvm as a guide, but given that I already have Xp on this raid0, is there anything I should look out for?  For example, I'm mainly concerned about configuring grub correctly so that I can still access XP if I need to, however it's not too much of a problem if I somehow nuke it since I already have a full working arch install on another box.

Thanks in advance smile

Re: Installing Arch on a previous RAID0 with XP

I presume this is one of those pesky motherboard-chipset-based RAID setups? If so, look into dmraid. If it's 'real' hardware RAID - ie a dedicated card with its own processor and stuff - then you shouldn't have any problem, Linux will only see the RAID, not the separate disks. If it is the former, then it will see the disks separately though.

Yes sorry about that.  It's motherboard-based raid.  I'll take a look into that guide.
