Thanks ..I have only one HD installed...WIn XP report it as 82801EB .. If I
enable Sata-Raid it will not boot...So is it possible to have Win XP report
it as 82801ER with only one drive ? If not it would mean there is no Intel
App accelerator for 82801EB chipset...
Also can I usa the promise controller to boot only one drive or it's only
for raid ?
thanks
