Oops, wasn't aware it was software raid. Must have skipped that.

[cite] gaz919:[/cite]No it won't work if the whole drive is software raid. In the software raid we use it only recognises the raid after it first boots of a boot partition. My vista os cannot see the raid part of the drive, therefore cannot be installed on raid. you may be able to make a seperate partition on one drive for vista, and use the rest for the raid leopard, but vista still won't be able to see the apple raid, not even with mac drive.

Sorry but I just don't think it will work, vista wouldn't even let me install on another drive when the apple raid was plugged in.
I needed to unplug the apple raid drives then install, go figure!

Good Luck you can still try, but my vote is with wont work.

As a suggestion, when doing software raid for leopard and still using vista or others, make the boot partition and another about 10 gig or so before you make the raid.

This will allow you to use mac drive to copy files/movies such from vista to leopard without using disks or usb drives.
if you have other spare drives don't worrie

Best Of Luck
