installed linux on raid array, cant boot either drive now

i put a 30gb partition at the end of a RAID0 array with 2x 74gb raptors, and now neither drive will let me install windows on it. it gives some sort of error (cant remember which error, sorry), but i know it said something like the drive isnt accessible.

how do i correct this in windows? i can see the drives in partition magic and computer management, and i have tried to format each drive together and independently to no avail.



sorry if this is the wrong forum. i figured it was OS specific knowledge.
 
fixed it. i booted into a linux installation and deleted the linux partitions from the partition manager. after that, windows was able to use the entire disk array.

it didnt see them in raid...sorry, maybe i said it wrong. it saw each drive on its own and they both had a bunch of linux partitions. i just deleted everything off of each drive.
 
there was your mistake. Try Fedora core 5, 6 or SuSE 10.2 and Linux will see array and play nice with Windows partitions. There are just few state-of-the-art linux distros that can utilize mobo RAID.
