well, thanks so far to all who replied...
one more question: it seems that the vendor of the onboard RAID 
controller supplies a binary kernel module for the RAID function.
However, this is proprietary stuff. There is also a software RAID driver 
which is open source.
Can I enable HW RAID in the Controller menu and use it on the win2k 
partition and can I use software RAID in Linux, or will that mess up 
everything?
Or is it better to stick to the binary module?

Cheers
Arne
