    I need linux sometimes on my main pc, I can't dual boot as I've 2 raptors in raid 0 (fake raid from the mobo) which Ubuntu sees through and doesn't recognise I've Vista installed on them. When I install on another drive it doesn't write to the existing Mbr and just boots to Vista as normal. Therefore I need to virtualise Mint or Ubuntu on this Vista (64bit), I've tried Vmware but its not got digitally signed drivers. Any other alternatives? I've dual booted before but had to split the raid, not wanting to do that now tho.

    Thanks in advance

    Pog

    actually, I'm going messing about with VirtualBox on windows xp, want to test out clonezilla for network deployment but don't have a spare box to put it on (needs DRBL to work). Sure let me know how you get on, I may be posting questions if I can't find it in the support docs lol.
