Author Fedora dual boot with a SATA RAID Array.

I'm trying to install Fedora Core 3 test 64 bit on a RAID array and the
install goes fine (Fedora sees the RAID and auto partitions [I'm new at all
this] the array, installs the "bootloader" GRUB for dual boot. After
rebooting the computer (setting the BIOS to SCSI for 1st device boot) it
hangs at "GRUB". I must explain that I have windows installed on my other
IDE HD hence the need for a dual boot. Is it possible to have Linux on a
RAID array and windows on an IDE drive and dual boot? If so, what I'm I
doing wrong? I posted this question on the REDHAT INSTALL newsgroup and
somebody said that I should try to boot with the SCSI as first boot device.
I tried that and it still hanges at the GRUB prompt. Any suggestions?

Thanking you all in advance
D
