I think the best thing would be to get myself a forth HDD for linux.

You will need to creat a software RAID in the Ubuntu set-up. Another issue, again as far as I know, Grub and Lilo have problem when setup on RAID0 partition. So here is what I want to say. Let's presume you have 2 100GB drives. 1. Create ~30-50MB RAID1 partition as /boot (where your Grub/Lilo will stay) ... Grub is better of course 2. The start creating RAID0 partitions. Maybe something like: a. ~1GB = swap (presuming you have 512-1GB) b. ~5 - 10GB = / (where you Ubunutu OS is installed) c. The rest, ~90GB = /home (where all your settings and all your files reside) Always a good idea to have /home partition separately, so that you can re-install/upgrade/format your OS partition without loosing all other data, especailly personal settings. Few links that might help for now.
