other than W indows 2000 and XP.For 2000 and XP, RAID sets can be created and
managed by either the BIOS utility or the SATARAID GUI.

tion of Integrated Peripherals in BIOS before configuring the silicon BIOS. After
that press F10 to save the configuration and exit. During boot up, a screen similar to
