Are the 2 160 GB harddisks on a software raid controller on the motherboard? The reason why I mentioned this is because logical volume management (lvm) also uses the device mapper so if you aren't using a software raid (and installing windows on a raid) then it's not a dmraid issue it's an lvm issue. Anyway Fedora installs where it sees ntfs partitions don't work very well because linux doesn't really fully support ntfs (read only, limited write support) so that might be your installation issue it can't read the ntfs (Fedora doesn't even come with the ntfs.ko kernel driver module). Fat32 partitions are better for dual-boot configurations because linux has read/write fat32 support (vfat.ko) kernel driver module. > -James on the second hard disk , I've ext3 partitions prepared with partition magic along with the other ntfs partitions _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
