I'm not really up to speed on the finer details and I could even be wrong about this but I think it might be worth starting a tread on that one so you could pick the brains of people with more knowledge about this than I have.
Besides, those 2x36Gb raptors the ones you wanted to sell off about a month ago? I thought they would have been gone by now. Once you come to sell them off, send me a pm. If the price is right I'll take them of you. I have got a use for two little drives like that.

Cheers. Yeah I know the original bootloader used by XP wouldn't be the one that would be in use, I was thinking more along the lines of having the Vista bootloader manage the boot process giving me the option of XP, Vista or Ubuntu.
Yeah those raptors are still the ones I've been shifting. I've kept the price high because I wasn't willing to sell them until I had shifted my cpu, mobo and ram, but now there sold i've been getting a lot of interest in the raptors at around £40 each.
Apologies cew27 for straying off-topic
