I tried using the DVD RW on the IDE raid set as ATA port but it still wouldn't see it. I think what i'm going to try i taking the DVD rom and CD RW off IDE 1 and use those 2 ports for the SATA drives by remaping them to those 2 channels. Then i'll put the DVD rom on IFE 2 as primary and the CD RW on the slave,then put the DVD RW on one of the IDE raid ports as ATA.
I have an 80 gb SATA that has the OS and all the programs on it and the second 160 gb SATA is formated and will be used for video editing. I may end up using the 2 SATA drives as raid O, and partitionong them into 2 drives,i was trying to avoid that but it might be the only way out. DOUG
