Hi Jon, Sorry for the late reply cause i did not come to the office yesterday and we had a holiday. Anyhow, do i need to configure the boot device priority to what Removable Devices or Just boot from HARD DRIVE ? recently i configure it to boot from a hard drive because i confuged the HARD DRIVE option regrading the priority set to Array 1000 Family RAID Adapter. Do i need to re-install the linux box or any other way? If the Linux autodetects the RAID devices meaning the mirroring will be applied ? Thanks and regards, On Mon, 30 Apr 2001, Jon wrote:

Then you do not need any of the Software per se.....use the RAID devices BIOS utils to config the Array and when you install Linux select (or Autodetect) the module and off you go.
