Newbie Triple boot with H/W Raid 0

[rogue7]

I am not a newbie at computers or CLI but I am at Linux. I currently have a Raid 0 Setup with an IWIll Sideraid66 controller card and two identical Western digital hard drives of 13.6 gig each. I am trying to triple boot Win 98SE, Win 2K Pro, and Linux Mandrake 7.2 . I have tried to install via the cd-rom, via boot disk, via files from hard drive. I DO NOT want to do Linux4Win. Anyway, so far I have gotten an error message number 11 and system kill and then reboot. I have wiped my hard drives inadvertantly because Mandrake didn't see the Raid config. And I had a hang on boot with just the letters "LI" showing. I have tried fdisking a partition in MS-DOS and installing, I have tried leaving a blank spot on the hard drive and installing (where I got the "LI" hang on boot). I am about to say to heck with IT! Please Help?

WARNING THIS TAKES HOURS!
I also have triple boot,win2k pro,linux,and windows 98se.
It`s,a common problem with win 2k you must install like this.

Install linux first,then windows 2000,then
windows 98.
Next reinstall lilo VILOA! your done.

Now sometimes you must do it this way.
Install linux first,then windows 9x,then
windows 2k.then reinstall lilo

There is a NHF on triple booting here http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/osbooting/tripleb.html although your problem could be caused by your Raid setup and the controller. Is the controller supported in Mandrake 7.2?

Read the section in the NHF on Lilo limitations. 1024 cylinder limit on older versions of lilo.
