SCSI RAID?

Hi all,

I bought a new computer on Sunday. One of the reasons I chose it is that they said it has two hard drives already installed, so I figured I'd just reformat one of them to hold Linux (Fedora as of now). The "expert" at the store assured me that if I did this Windows would no longer see that disk and wouldn't mess with it.

It turns out that the "disk" is a RAID (Promise 2+0 approximately). When I tried to install Linux last night, both FC2 and 3 said there were no hard disks, or at the very least that there were none Linux could use. They didn't even ask if I wanted to remove non-Linux partitions.

Does anybody know about these? Is it possible to turn them into two separate disks, or is it possible to partition it to make room for some EXT3 systems? Note that the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List is about two years old and thus of very questianable value.

Thanks,
