yea I have read the other threads and even found some threads outside of
here. But again...no help.

I know I dont have the 2 200GB drives, I just have 1 120GB. I cant remember
my motherboard make/model off hand, but pretty sure its not that one. I'll
double check tonight....

thanks for the replys.....other ideas?
