1 Madman,
First, if at all possible, I would recommend setting up RAID 5 as RAID 0 has
no redundancy and RAID 5 not only does but is also significantly faster than
0. Next, to configure a dual boot partition you would install XP first and
Vista second because the platforms are different and Vista will be able to
write the boot.ini file correctly where as XP will not provide an option for
Vista.
Also, if you are considering a dual boot, I would recommend you consider
installing Windows 7 RC in replace of Windows Vista as Windows 7RC runs
faster and is more streamlined for the every day user.
To find out more information on the benefits of Windows 7RC as well as some
of the changes it offers head on over to Microsoft Springboard.
