That is excellent news since i need to be new drives before i actually setup an actuall RAID array. There would probably be something in the bios then to make sure it boots from the raid controller then? So my setup would look like this:

IDE1 -> Plextor 12x cdrw
IDE2 -> DVD Drive as master, Acer 6x burner slave
RAID1 -> 32gig HDD
RAID2 -> 26gig HDD
with no raid array

i hope that works, since i'll be trying it this weekend
