From: Inge Svensson on 25 May 2010 03:02 I wonder if it is possible to set up openSUSE (64 bit) with 3 SATA disks as RAID 5 with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on a fourth disk? Inge Svensson

Depending on the limitions of Windows it may be needed to make the "first" disk the Windows one and I'm also not quite sure if /boot can be on a RAID5 volume, but with the right initrd it is well possible to have / and the other volumes on RAID5. We here do it, but with CentOS and grub as the boot loader. -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

I installed Win7 first and then Suse 11.2. Win7 shows up as a boot option in the Grub Menue. Hans
