    I got the 9262 a few months ago. Can't say enough about how great a system it is or how happy I was to save $2000 by NOT getting the Alien m15x :D

    Dumb move on my part was putting Vista on it when I got it. Too many BS problems with it...
    So, I put good old XP on it a few weeks ago. Ran MUCH better, until I decided to buy a couple 320Gb HDDs

    I backed everything up, setup the RAID in the Bios and Intel Matrix config and loaded up the XP install disc. BUT, it said it couldn't find any hard drives. MEH!
    I know the RAID was set up right because the Vista install disc saw the drives and the correct sizes that I had setup in the RAID config.

    So, how does one get RAID in XP?

    I was hoping there would be around the floppy, oh well.
    I'll pick one up and give it a whirl after work.

    Why do I get the feeling that the Sager will give me this "WTF is this thing?" look when I pop in the floppy disc? lol
