I'm afraid, if you have your Mac OS X installation on the RAID array, that you only have 2 options:

1. Make your startup disk not part of a RAID array by moving it to a non-RAID disk then booting from that.
2. Dismantle the RAID array.

If you're using Leopard, your Leopard DVD is the Boot Camp driver CD. Make sure you download and install the Boot Camp 2.1 update as well.

how do you dismantle the raid array if you have a raid card... is it possible? I have 2 drives using raid, the other 2 drives (bays 3-4) are not in raid but still do not work with bootcamp
