Thanks,
The computer came with 1 SATA disk 200Gb
I added my old ATA 80 Gb to the "blue" bus, and during booting I ctrl+F it,
and automatically added the IDE to the RAID.
Everything worked perfect. No mirroring. Each HD with its own size and data,
etc...
Someboy strongly recommended me to undo that. So I installed the IDE as
slave to my DVD.
Now the IDE shows up as disk 1, not 2 anymore. Booting takes longer, also.
Bios has IDE "undetected", because if I enable it, during booting i have
"missing NTLDR, reboot".
I don't know what to do.... everything was working fine in RAID but some
people advised me to change that....
Can i have more advice, please?
Thanks,
Guille
