Well i got another problem that i might not be able to do through ubuntu. Gparted doesn't have ntfs as an option to reformat a partition. Can partition magic reformat the partitions i couldn't reformat during xp install later?

edit: i meant parted magic....not the other one you have to pay for. Anyways, its not going to work either, cause it seems to not have very good support for raid 0 systems. I read somewhere that if i go on and partition the raw partitions to FAT32 in gparted, that i can boot back to XP and tell XP to change the partitions from FAT32 to NTFS....can i do this before i go on and partition these raw partitions to FAT32?

Also, do i need to make any of the partitions for ubuntu primary?
