I wish to thank you gentleman for the warm welcome and kind words of encouragement. There is one thing that I forgot to mention, and that is, I am using two identical hard drives -- 200 GB Maxtor IDE hard drive's, but I am using them as separate drives on the raid connectors .I am using one for music -- Opera and classical -- and various other things I wish to store. The other I am using for my OS and programs. Thank you so much ancient

I am sitting here eating crow, for I was going to come here and do searches and solve my own problem. I felt a 79-year-old man should be able to easily solve his own problem. I know that I am computer illiterate but finding out what kind of raid to hit on the install should be easy, but then I thought finding out what an LG CD-ROM is would be also (which is the reason I am using 9.1 instead of 9.2). I knew I would have a lot to learn, but my age, it's going to take awhile. I feel, if I can get it installed, I can use the help section to solve at least 98 percent of my questions. Gigabyte GA-7DpXDW+ 2- AMD 1800 MP's 2000 GB ECC Cosair memory G4 TI 4600 Creative Audigy 2 Promise Raid (lite) (I could not find it on the list provided in the install) The question is, what do they call the promise Raid, in the list they provide during the install. It says that it cannot find my drives. If no one wishes to help I will fully understand, for I also believe a person should do his homework before asking for help. I will continue trying to solve it. Thank you very much Ancient
