Yes, I will forward this message as well. It appears that the error message regarding drive geography when installing is simply erroneous. The OS has no trouble handling a logical drive that is 750 GB in size (1.5 TB mirrored and striped via RAID 10). Even though there does not appear to be any problem with the OS, that error message should be corrected since I spent an entire day trying to solve a problem that didn't exist.

I've re-added the mailing lists so that other folks smarter than myself can take a look at this information. Sean
