During boot (POST time before OS starts to load) you press CTRL-A (both keys together) to get into the Adaptec card BIOS. You can configure your drives as an array here. There is supposed to be a message on the screen but this message can be disabled by BOFH. Been a while since I've done this, but IIRC after creating the array and rebooting you would then install to ar0. -Mike
