Nah, once you've got XP installed it's usually a matter of installing the proper SATA/AHCI driver (I think in this case it's called Intel Matrix Storage Driver), rebooting and resetting BIOS to Native/AHCI/Whatever. I've done this a bunch of times. With one chipset it wouldn't play ball, but then I got a "prepare" driver for another chipset that allowed me to boot and, when XP asked for the driver, install the proper one. Once I get to work on Monday (GMT+1) I'll see if I can dig up which drivers I used. I think I have it documented. That said, I guess having working RME-ALSA drivers would be the best solution. - Peder _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
