mandrake 9.1 - LILO - windows on a raid0 array
Hello all,
I'm a newbie so hopefully my question isnt stupid, but i coudlnt find this same problem anywhere else. I installed mandrake 9.1 this weekend, and LILO works fine for loading linux. I also have a RAID 0 array on the highpoint htp372 controller on my motherboard with windows XP installed on it. I know the install is still intact and fine because if i go into my bios and tell it to boot off that raid array it works fine, and if i tell it to boot off my hdd0 (which shows up to linux as hde) then it will go to lilo and i can load into mandrake.
When i was originally installing linux I thought i had set it up, by telling it to look on "/dev/ataraid/d0" or "/dev/ataraid/d0p1" to boot windows as an option. but neither of those worked, now when i try to go to it and change it in the lilo config the dropdown menu gives me the following choices for root:
/dev/ {hda1, hde1, hdh1, hdg1, hde5, hde6}
from what i gather, hdg, hdh are two storage hard drives that shouldnt be involved in the picture, and hda is one of the drives i have on the raid array, (one of the two). I have tried several combinations of these in the lilo config, but every one i try, when it tries to boot to windows it says somethign about how \system32\hal.dll is corrupted etc.. and windows cant start.
Can anyone help me out here? do i need to install extra raid drivers in linux? or is there some other choice i can make in the lilo config to get it to work?
Thanks in advance.
