I want to instal wubi ubuntu since it doesn't partition my windows drive, but I understand it doesn't work with raid 0. I have a seagate 250 gig external drive. Could I instal to that drive? When I leave that drive on my bios will try to boot to it. If I can't get wubi on my windows c drive (raid 0). I would like to get unbuntu installed on my external drive. lastly I have multiple monitors. Will this cause problems?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.Waynezo-Windows 7 Pro/Core i7 920

VMware
found VMware and installed virtual ubuntu 8.04. So far works great except playing shared media files from windows. My new question is, would there be any advantage to having a physical copy on the harddrive?

I believe you would get better performance with a physical installation.
If you install that other drive, there won't be a boot conflict, because the Raid 0 drive is set to boot.
If you do install that other drive, why not have a pure installation of Ubuntu? Ubuntu will dual boot with Windows.

Thanks for the link. After reading some more, it seems that not all PS3's cooling fan work correctly. Some never spin up fast, which causes the overheating issue. Luckily, my PS3 gets very loud...
