I know you're real busy with everything else Bash, but just a quick suggestion of making a lite pack of massstorage DP ? 1. MS DP is, i think, the most troublesome DP among all the DriverPacks. maybe triming down some would cause less errors. 2. because of long list of supported cards, it take some time (considerably long on computer w/ slow cd-rom) when setting up Windows (in setup mode) I figured most people use 1. nvidia and or intel raid 3. promise raid 4. via/sis raid 5. HPT and others 6. scsi raid in the order of numbers.. so maybe do a lite pack with nvidia/intel/via/promise , and still keep your current mega-DP ? thanks always
