Ok, i have Duel SATA Seagate Barracuda 120 GB drives. I have Windows XP Pro running on 210 of my space, and i have 30 Unpartitioned space. I wasn FC4 on this 30 unused. My problem is when i get to that part of the install where is ask me if i want to auto partition or DiskDruid, i click DD and it says something about unable ot read my hard drives and wanting to delete all the partitions and format them. This i cannot allow, so, what can i do?

Use DiskDruid to create one logical partition to mount "/" of Fedora, about 10Gb will do, and another logical partition for swap, size twice your physical ram or say 1Gb.

Basically after the partitions have been created you edit them, select format, mounting type, file type (Ext3 should work in all cases) and so on.

After you come out of Disk Druid instruct Fedora to install in the 10Gb partition you have just created.

I know this, but the problem is, DiskDruid is not reading my SATAs at all, it promting to delete all current partitions and erase all my data befor it will read the SATA hard drives at all.

Then this is a RAID problem as I have FC4 installed in sdb10, inside a 200Gb Sata.

I have Raid 0 so i can part my drives as one. so how can i solve this?

I broke up my RAID because I know some Linux can't cope. I think you may have a job on hand to part the two disks as you XP is already shared between the two.

Think I manage to clone my XP out from a 2-disk Sata RAID to a single IDE.

meh, to much work than i care for, i'll probably wipe my HDD for my laptop and throw FC4 on their or get a 2nd HDD for my laptop and have that going for me.

To clone XP from partition sda1 to another disk, say an external hard drive hde1 in Linux is just

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/hde1 bs=32256

As dd writes the data natively (in 1s and 0s) it would be necessary to arrange the hde1 to be partitioned in the exactly the ssame size but no need to format it. The bs=32256 is 63 sectors x 512 bytes for optimum transfer. The omission of bs parameter will force the default 512 bytes to be used but the process is slowed down.

As a long term perspective I would move my data out of XP, resize it to about 25 Gb and move it around to suit my purpose. I run 3 versions of Dos and 4 versions of Windows among 4 disks and my XP is in 3rd disk. Grub can hide M$ partitions and re-maps the drive on-the-fly to ensure it can always booted into a "C".
