My plan is to set it up to give about 1 gig to each OS and then have the rest of the hard drive set to be shared between the other operating systems. Can anyone help me with this or point me towards any other resources that could help me with this?

Will write a how to after all is done, backing up the 320's right now.
To be honest with you, talking to you guys has opened up my eyes to how little I really know lol. Ok, so I remember a friend told me that to raid a hard drive means to have two hard drives connected to eachother and have data saved to both so that retrieving that data will be a much quicker job. Is that right?
