By "start over completely" I mean re-install everything, wiping out
what you have done so far.

If Windows needs the hpt372 active to do RAID, but Linux is doing
software RAID and needs it inactive, you will have to fiddle with the
BIOS everytime to boot into a different OS, and even that might not
work.

Your best bet may be to go to the highpoint-tech.com site and get the
driver floppy for RedHat and try to use it to install Redhat along
side your windows.
