I was referring to the server products, which have no such restrictions. I believe you're thinking of a consumer oriented "XP Home" edition. In that case I'm surprised it offered any software RAID, period. M$ is usually very stingy in this regard. Back in the W2K era, Pro had zero RAID options. If you wanted software RAID you had to install a server version of W2K, which was 4 times the price of Pro, and in most cases more expensive than putting a good low end single channel SCSI Mylex or Intel PCI RAID card into the Pro box. At the time, $employer sold quite a few W2K Pro workstations with hardware RAID cards due to this very reason. And the customer got a performance boost for "free". ;) -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
