i read that it is possible to use software raid from disk util with osx. i never used softraid before. and have no experiances with raid an multiple os's... so i have a few questions:

 

is it possible to install osx on the software raid or can you just use software raid disks as storage disks?

 

is it possible to use software raid on 2 HDDs, than set up 2 partitions on this raid and install osx on the first and win7 on the second? will both os's be able to use the same softraid?

 

or if i use softraid for 2 HDDs with windows and another 2 HDDs with softraid and osx, will i be able to get access from one os to the other os's raid?

 

thank you for your help ;)

You can install OS X to SW RAID see this guide by nathan7 here

Don't know ... but don't think it is possible

I have seen people who have success with seeing (in OS X) a hardware ICH10 RAID. but installing to ICH10 HW RAID seems a bit hit and miss. Don't know about windows SW RAID . see here

 

 

thank you for your help ;)
