How to install Fedora 17 with Windows 7 on Sony T-series

[Noel Gomez <noel.gomez.rn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all, I have searched and searched until my migraines kicked in to find this answer and I just can't figure it out.

I have a Sony Vaio T-series (svt13112fxs) that uses a SSD to increase speed via Intel Rapid Storage Technology. So basically it creates a RAID0 setup. 

If i try to install Fedora 17, I have to delete the metadata (i.e. dmraid -r -E /dev/sda & /dev/sdb) so that Fedora can successfully install. But now my Windows side will suffer in performance without that RAID setup with the SSD. 

I managed to the laptop back to its original state but at the cost of deleting the Fedora partition. 

How can I successfully dual boot Fedora 17 with the Windows 7 but still maintain its RAID setup with the SSD?

Thank-you and have a nice day.
