Hi again, Any ideas why I couldn't install linux in this fakeRAID? " Intel Rapid Storage Technology " . I think it is possible to disable the fakeRAID in the Bios. Probably If I am not able to install linux with Windows using this fakeRAID. I will just erase windows and install only Linux (Debian) using a software RAID 0. I think that should be quite straightforward with the Debian installer. Thanks, Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
