To make this system a software raid then. But i thought i would throw this out to see if anyone would know...unless the error it is throwing out is not the correct error, then i have no idea what would be
wrong.<br> <br> thanks,<br> <br></div><BR><BR>Steven<br> <br><br>"On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'. So I installed Linux."
