Just wondering, has anyone successfully loaded and ran winxp he or winxp pro in a stripped raid array with 2 same size and same model of hd's on this p4 mb.


A gigabyte 8irxp mb.


If any of you did, how???

Just a curiousity???

Board will work fine if raid controller is instead setup as a standard ultra 133 controller in the bios.

Stripped Raid will work fine if loading and running win98 se.

Xp compatibility issue????

Using supplied drivers from Gigabyte's website.

I do believe xp will run fine if 1 hd is the default ide controller and 2 separate hds are on the raid controller.

But, I want to try just 2 hds loaded with an O/S on the raid itself.

Thanks
