It seems that I should do something about that software RAID anyway, I
agree... but:

> Neither OS supports software RAID 5.
I haven't done any hacking in Vista, but it recognises the RAID-5 disks
anyway and labels them RAID-5 (failed). This would suggest to me that Vista
does support software RAID-5. At least in the RC2 "Premium" version.

Since the XP hack does nothing more than enable in XP what was disabled from
NT, I don't think it's a particularly ugly and unsupported hack.
Unofficial hack, yes.
Officially unsupported, yes.
But unofficially supported? It appears so.

> Hardware RAID controllers are quite inexpensive and fully supported.
I thought they were rather expensive for simple home use. That's why I opted
for software in the first place. Could you perhaps suggest a useful,
affordable 4-port PCI SATA II controller?


Thanks!
