Re: Arch installation with Raid0 and Windows 7

Follow http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?tit … _Fake_RAID carefully and you are on your way.

Software raid will not work in a dualboot setup with Windows 7.

Fake-Raid will work if your chipset is supported by the dmraid driver.

Also a lot of threads about this in the forum so a search for 'Windows RAID dualboot' should be able to help you.

Download an older archiso install cd, like 2009.02 and try with it. Install only grub!

I have fakeraid, windows 7 and arch. Grub doesn't install with the latest arch iso image. It's a known bug.
