Sorry about all the reposts, I don't know whats going on with that, this
new board has a dual network system built in and don't know how it works
either, It keeps telling me my sent messages are failing.
 Back to the HD I have the HD connected as a back-up drive now and it works
fine, I installed the O/S onto the 80g IDE HD to make sure the board was
working ,,, But it still won't let me install the XP O/S on to the Raptor
there are 4 different settings in the BIO's for the SATA & Raid set-up, I
can take a photo of the BIO's page and post it If that would help?
