Anyone running raid on here? I cannot get it to work. I have the abit bx133 mobo... I have 2 new maxtor 30 gig drives... anything that tries to access the "raid" drive of 60 gig goes IMMENSELY slow... like, the mouse jumps all over. formatting takes hours
the operating systems takes years to load, and when it does, it doesnt work. Any ideas?

Not to mention.... anytime the drive is accessed in dos... the screen flashes, like in fdisk, it stops at verifying drive integrity 0% and whenever I hit a key it flashes 3 times.... grrr

My ABIT Bx133-Raid with 2 30GB IBM 75GXP harddrives works flawlessly,
 
However.. i too thought that it took forever to format my huge partition..
 
I read somewhere that there would be trouble if one would use an above 30Gig partition as a boot partition, i didn't check this out but i made a small (4gig) boot partition with f-disk.
 
Now i'm pleased with at continius data flow of around 55+ MB /sec =)
