No, I'm sure that you're right ... it is enabled/disabled in the BIOS.
so if you are unable to recommend the fakeraid method, which way do I go ?
I was kind of wondering, looking at the Ubuntu 2nd install screencast, and noticed that although you covered all the options eg.raid (0 in my case), you did it with clean Hard Drives.
- if I go down the route that you recommend with WinXP already installed, will it pick up the existing partition tables ? so that WinXP doesn't get overwritten / deleted.
- should I format the partitions for root and swap before running the alternate cd install, or allow the install to do it ?
perhaps it might be worth adding this to your existing dialogue / screencast on installing ubuntu part 2 ... for those of us wanting to keep windows whilst in the process of moving to / experimenting with Ubuntu.
