Other two ports are Pioneer ATA66 DVD-ROM as primary master and IBM ATA66 20gb HD as secondary master. Win2K (first slice) and FreeBSD (second slice) each get half the RAID-0 array. Win98 and QNX share the 20gb drive. No special BIOS settings - just have the RAID array set as the second boot option after floppy, and there's also another BIOS setting to allow booting from the onboard SCSI/ATA device. Do I assume correctly you went into the Promise BIOS and set up your RAID-0 array, and that you're told on bootup the array is functional? There's a jumper to enable/disable the RAID functionality, but (1) it's enabled by default, and (2) if you've enabled the array in the Promise BIOS, then the jumper's obviously in the right place. You *are* doing the RAID in the Promise BIOS, not Windows "software RAID," right? How are you attempting to install 4.5?
