Is the RAID hardware or software? If hardware, Linux will see the exact same thing Windows sees. If software.. I don't think it works like that.

oh thanks man!! Yeah I used to use amd64 with my old Athlon which is probably why Debian4 booted up and the ia64 did not. I read it was for Itanium but then there where other things that made me think it was right. They should really throw in the x86 part.
And the raid0 is controlled by the raid chipset and unless the OS I am installing has drivers for it then I would have to install them manually before proceeding.
Mostlyharmless: thanks for your input too. If the D5 install doesnt see the drives properly I will try that rout.
