hi ya paul
if yu are using the raid connectors on the motherboard...
- disconnect it and problem is solved...
( it doesnt work right to begin with )
if you are using a pci-based fast-track controller ( $50 - $300 stuff )
... dont bother .. return it too if it doesnt work
if you are using 2 disks as stripped... why bother w/ hardware
controllers ??
- if one disk dies... you lose everything
( if you need a bigger disk... than then 2x 20GB youhave
( buy a new 40, 60, 80, 120gb disks instead ...
( cheaper, more reliable
if you want to run raid ( so that the system keeps working even if
a disk dies...
than run raid1(mirroring) or raid5 ( beeds at least 3 disks )

have fun
