The twio drives I will be RAID'ing would be the two SATA drives. The two
80GB drives will stay as they are. So do I need to convert these drivs
to "dynamic" drives? According to the manual, all I need to do is run
the RAID setup utility built in the MB and go from there. <shrug>

XP, W2K and maybe Linux. Since I would be using the built in
capabilities of the MB, one would "think" there shouldn't be a problem
with Linux, then again, depending on the distro, sometimes it finds the
SATA drive BR (Before RAID), sometimes they don't don't. So I don't
know how it (Linux) would/will react to the RAID setup.
