I figured with my first post I'd get right to business.

My newly built rig is currently running XP Pro on RAID 1. I plan to dual boot with Vista so before I attempted to install Vista, I tried to partition it using GParted 0.3.4-7 which didn't work. I'm guessing because GParted doesn't recognize RAID. I looked into other alternatives I can't seem to find any clear info on this except for a few vague explanations.

I also tried disconnecting one of the drives, disabling RAID, and then trying to partition to no avail, GParted gave me the the same error it did when I tried to partition as RAID 1. I'm open to suggestions for alternative programs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Zen

Current Rig Specs:

Core2Quad Q9450 w/ Thermalright IFX-14 Cooler
EVGA nForce 790i Ultra
300gb WD Velociraptor x2 in RAID 1, 500gb WD Caviar x1 for data
1gb Corsair XMS3 SLI DDR3 1600 x4
EVGA 9800GTX (For now)
ThermalTake 1200w Sli Power Supply
ThermalTake Armor+ Case

The Windows installer should allow you to partition a drive during the install process.

Normally it should but it kept skipping that step and wanted to overwrite the XP files. But in any case, I solved the problem by loading Vista and hitting SHIFT F10 at the license key screen and going into the cmd prompt and running DISKPART. I should have done this the first time but people kept recommending against it claiming that it wouldn't recognize a raid array. Apparently it does and does it well. Thanks anyway.
