Hi Rebort,

Thanks for your posting!

>From the description, I understand that your issue is that you are using
the Adaptec 2410SA SATA RAID controller to create the RAID 5 array,
however, you can not install the SBS on it. If I'm off base, please let me
know.

I have noticed the many customers have the similar issues as yours and they
all have a same hardware - SATA hard drives. So I do think that your issue
is closely related to the Adaptec hardware, I would strongly recommend you
to contact the Adaptec support to direct support because they will have the
first hand information about the product.

Please also confirm with the mainboard vendor to check if the SATA
controller you are using beyond the chipset type, and ask if they have new
Bios driver for the chipset.
