Just bought
2x Maxtor 160,0 GB – SATA150
1x Promise FastTrak SATA150 TX4, SATA controller
I had a bunch of problems with my BIOS loading my two IDE harddrives first, resulting my Windows Installation becomming F:
Not something I wanted to live with, so after some hard thinking… I solved it by disabling the two IDE drives in my BIOS, during the Windows installation. Thereby getting windows installed on C:, on my SATA drives
I am currently running RAID 0 which seems to run okay, nice and fast.
I do have one problem, my disks makes noises when it “thinks” – I can only remember this from back when I had my 300 MB hardrive and 486 machine.
I don’t really mind it, but it’s not somehing which I expected from two high-tech drives.
My computer now seems to be performing nicely.
Fast data-transfers and a 2 MBit connection, makes you enjoy using the computer just a little more :)
Of couse all this results in me being able to finally use my new DVD drive, which I must say shows Lord of the Rings – Fellowship of the Ring quite nicely :)

Couldnt you just change the driveletters in windows? It is a bit hidden feature, but ask google.
Well, good luck with your raid, but as steve says don’t cry when one of the disks crash.
Buy a disk more and run mirror on your disks.

Nope, I know about this – You cannot change driveletter on an active-mounted drive…
