Software raid0 & grub
 
I'd like some help about a software raid I have
Here is the situation

I have 4 drives

(1) 2x74 gb raptors set up for raid 0
On these I have 2 patitions : one for winxp and another partition for games(both ntfs)

(2) A 320 gb sata containing media files(ntfs)

(3)A 320 gb sata containg the linux partitions (swap,boot and root) and a ntfs partition.On this drive I have installed grub and everything works fine

So to boot gentoo I go into bios set the (3)hard disk as firts boot device and everything works great
If i wanna boot to winxp I go again into bios set the (1) hard disk as first boot device and it works great

The reason I did all these is that I was afraid of ruining my raid0

But now I have emerged dmraid and I can see and mount my raid0 partitions with no problem at all

So what I want to know is if I can set up grub(which is in drive (3) ) to have a selection of booting to windows xp partition in raid0

Maybe i found the problem

Look at this

Partition table entries are not in disk order
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb are the two 74gb raptors wroking at a raid0,but i c many errors about /dev/sda
Is this ok?

[update]

Code:
fdisk /dev/sda
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.


The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9039.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
  (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
