I have a relatively new PC with nvidia RAID drivers. I am told that in
order to dual boot it with Linux, I must re-install XP from the
original CD. The original CD contains the original install image of
XP, not a generic version.

Am I unable to re-install XP with a different configuration than the
original? Can somene ussgest a way that I can get around this?

Thanks.

Why not just add a single non-RAID hard drive and install Linux on that?
