The Story of the RAID Card

So, as it turns out, the thing which needs to be done to get Windows XP to recognize the RAID card is reflashing the RAID card's BIOS. Which, based on the instructions, is probably more likely to make the Motherboard think that it's a RAID card, but whatever. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn't work, I'll have to deal with installing Windows on a motherboard that thinks it is a RAID Card, and Windows will have to not only figure out how to run on that motherboard, but also how to address a RAID card which is attached to a motherboard which thinks that it is a RAID card.

Actually, that might be worse. Ah, well. At least this way this whole debacle might be done in a few days.

(And I'll be a bit closer to getting an Ultra-portable Laptop! Horray! Asus' Eee PC, in case you were wondering - not very fast, but very portable, and portability is what I want).
