I am not using the Raid controller for Raid functionality but for performance. I have set aside 20gb to install Beta 2 on the 2nd disk. I have a dualboot with WinXP installed on Disk 1 and WinME on Disk 2. The installer detects the drives ok as far as i can tell however after accepting the license the installer complains that both drives have unknown partition table formats. the log shows : test_for_hard_drives (/dev/hde) error reading magic number on disk hde at /usr/bin/perl-install/partition_table/empty.pm line 28 error while reading partition table in sector 0 at /usr/bin/perl-install/partition_table/dos.pm line 63 it then goes on to fail reading sector 0 in bsd.pm, sun.pm & mac.pm I have got Powerquest Bootmagic installed however i was suffering this fault before i installed it. The installer fails on both my drives which are seen has HDE & HDG. I have tried adding a 3rd IDE disk as HDG which is unformatted and it doesn't complain about this.
