Right, looks like my best bet is to get an extra PATA drive for linux

It's not that important for me to run RAID at all, but the thing is that
my only diskset at the moment are two 160gig SATA drives in RAID0 on the
ICH5 which is the media I wanted to install to. No such luck aparently
:(

Thanks for your answer though!
