My setup is a raid1 mirror setup on two 75gb sata disks and another 80gb sata disk as well as another 40gb disk(who know what's on it) could be WindowsXP, but I haven't used it. I could try running PartitionMagic to see what's on there; but there's no guarantee it'll show anything... will try now.
Ok, PM shows disk1 as ntfs; Disk2 is FreeBSD/386 76,316.6mb 0.0 unused active Primary Strange that it shows as full... wasnt when it was working. Weird if not strange... whereis disk 3 ?
