The way I went with my B&W G4 Main drives: RAID/ two IBM drives /SIIG 130/100 IDE controller ; two partitions; 9.2.2 and 10.2( with "hacks" to work the SIIG) Backup drive : stock hard drive on MOBO : two partitions: 9.2.2 and 10.2, both "cloned" I recently experienced a failure on one IBM drive in RAID No problem .
