Greetings,
I am new to linux and have been given the task to add two new disks to a pc that has fedora 5 already installed. The motherboard is an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family). It has one SATA disk already and I have two identical disks that I need to add.

What is a good way to go about this? I found a tutorial of how to add a new hard disk to a linux box but not as a raid config. I also read that ich7 is not supported.

I thought about raid 0 because I want the combined space on the disks to look as one. If there is another more practical way to do this, then I please let me know. Performance is important but not as much as space.

Thank you for your time and help.

First you need to boot into the raid bios and create the array.
