I'm dual booting an HP lappy, but on one drive, I shrank the winderz
partition down to 20 gigs & gave linux the rest. As for two drives, read
all you can find on 'menu.lst' (everybody else) and 'grub.conf' and howto
do that with two drives should become apparent. I was doing that with 2
drives on another box, but had to replace the mobo, and this new mobo
somehow gets confused by having a slave drive on the primary cable, so
that 2nd drive is now disconnected. Besides, 60GB is 10x more than enough
for a milling machine. :)
Hint, when it was working, I used only one /boot partition, and did all the
tricks in the appropriate grub stanza. 2 bootable partitions also seems
to confuse things no end.

I believe the kernel has an 'md' module for that, but from recent
discussions on lkml, it may not be 100% stable, so you may want to follow
that thread for current advice.
