Hi All,
Great thread! (...if you have this Alienware laptop!)
I've just got mine and am getting ready to install linux on it. Did anyone manage to just resize (shrink) the existing windows partition and then install linux on the freshly available space?
This can normally be done with QTParted, say using knoppix or such. But, this would mean that the live distro you are booting would need to support the raid card and let you look at the windows partition. Anyone managed to do this?
What I want to do is keep the existing windows setup and dual boot to a new linux install, all on the one raid device. (I have two 60Gb HDDs in Raid 0).
Cheers and thanks for any help.
