A: In order to get optimized performance, we suggest using hard drives with the same model.

Q: How to assign a booting device?

A:You may press <Ctrl> <H> to assign a booting device in RAID BIOS (See Chapter 4 for detailed information).

Q: Why can’t I see correct capacity in FDISK utility?

A:This is a well-known issue of Windows® 95/98’s FDISK utility. If an IBM 75 GB hard disk DTLA 307075 only gets 7768 MB in Windows® 95/98’s FDISK utility, please contact Microsoft® for a latest version of FDISK utility. For windows® 2000, there is no such a 64 GB issue.
