Hi, THe best start for you would be to delete the BIOS RAID and create a Linux software raid. I've the Abit ic7g too and it works for me. The bios Raid is kinda software raid anyway. and even slower compared to linux native software raid. (tested on 2.4 kernels with medley drivers, which support hte bios software raid stuff, vs. 2.4 kernel with linux software raid) hope that helps. Sebastian On Sunday 17 October 2004 04:52, Robert E.
