Hello, got a little problem here some of you hopefully could help me with.

I am trying to run a dual boot of windows xp pro (32bit) and Fedora Core 5 (64bit). The drives are 10,000 RPM in a RAID 0 array. I made 3 partitions, a 100Gb for windows, 2Gb Swap, and a 40 gig ext3 partition (in that order). I had windows installed, then installed fedora, wrote to the MBR with GRUB. When I start up my system, after BIOS, I get a black screen after all the normal tests that are ran with "GRUB |" (the "|" is blinking). Nothing happens here and I cannot type anything. Any insight on what is going on here?

Thank you-

Are you using hardware or software RAID controllers? I am gonna bet grub wrote to the wrong disk in your RAID 0 array if you are using software RAID. If you are using a software RAID you need to move to a hardware RAID or go with software RAID 1 or a JBOD setup. If you are already using hardware RAID then I hope someone else has a better answer.

Good luck,
James Glenn

Ahh thanks a lot for the try, but I am on a hardware RAID setup.

anyone here have another suggestion? I'm sure I have to find a way to mount my raid0 volume on knoppix, but the commands I am using don't seem to work.
