Using smart Start you may not be able to install linux based operating system.

It would require for you to boot from the OS cd to do the installation however do ensure that you have the raid controller drivers handy

Hope this helps you

You can boot from the HP SmartStart CD, and then delete and recreate the array(s) and logical drive(s) using HP ACU (Array Configuration Utility).
