The Abit AT7 motherboard supports raid.  However, I am not using the raid controllers as a raid.  Just a HD controller.  The 80MB drive has windows xp, and the 60MB drive has two partitions; 30MB for windows xp and 30 MB unspecified (using to install Linux).  --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
