Pierre,

Thank you for your response earlier today. I have been out and unable to 
reply until now.

The onr big difference between what you suggest is that I want to 
install Ubuntu onto a pre-existing RAID 1 that is already configured 
into 4 partitions under Windows XP Pro.

The procedure outlined in the document is an install as a new system 
from scratch.

Do you know if there is a way that I can get the install to recognise 
the RAID that already exists?

Thanks.

Peace and all good.
