No, you can change BIOS settings until your fingers bleed without making any difference. In fact Linux pretty much ignores most of what's in the BIOS in any case. Very handy when wanting to put large drives in old systems!
Actually, NT ignores it too _until_ you load the vendor's "FRAID" driver. If you boot on any NT kernel (NT4SP4+), it will see the "raw" disks as well.
Only DOS kernels (Win9x/Me) will see the RAID configuration as a disk in "MS-DOS compatibility mode."

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you. Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
