well, I tried all sorts of things to configure a bootable raid on this thing except for pulling my graphics card and using a pci s3 card so I could use sata 0 and sata 1 plugs... Since I don't want to do that, I've just plugged in my extra ATA drive and started installing 9x on one partition, then I'll install xp on the other partition, then install the raid drivers and just use it for Data storage/game loading/photo's etc.. I'm just doing this to get everything working for testing and burn in.. I'll Probly try again later with a low profile 90 degree sata connector on the motherboard, if I can find one that's got it's 90 pointing to 3 o-clock, rather than all the ones I'm finding that have the 90 pointing to 9 o-clock, I can use sata 0 and sata 1 with the big ol video card. Lot to bother with!!! now I gotta deal with compatability mode drivers, and windows 9x trying to re-load 32bit controller drivers after restarting... It kept halting, setting compatability mode, then restarting and reloading 32bit drivers, cause the cd was in the drive... I booted safe mode with the cd out of the drive then, disabled 32bit drivers in the file system, troubleshooting section, now it will stick to compatability mode till I get the chipset drivers loaded :P it looks like I am going to have to boot off a floppy and copy my chipset drivers in dos, or setup legacy cdrom drivers with Environmental variables, mscdex or whatever. This is Too much work LOL, I'm gonna unplug the sata drives, then disable them in bios till I get the damn drivers loaded.
