I have a laptop (new to me) with windows 7 and RAID0. I want to install 8.2-Release and retain the Raid0. I booted the 8.2-Release AMD64 DVD and exited to Fixit. pciconf -lv shows atapci0@pci0:0:31:2: class=0x010400 card=0x159b103c chip=0x282a8086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 class= mass storage subclass=RAID I attached portions of dmesg below. sysinstall shows 3 choices for disk drives. ad4(600G), ad6(600G), ar0(RAID0) I want to use RAID0 and use the entire disk, partitioned by 'A'. Which disk do I select for installation? tomdean >From dmesg, ad4: 610480MB at ata2-master UDMA100 SATA 3Gb/s ad4: 1250263728 sectors [1240341C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue GEOM: new disk ad4 battery0: battery initialization done, tried 1 times ********* ATA Intel MatrixRAID Metadata ********* intel_id version <1.0.00> checksum 0x18a624f5 config_size 0x000001e0 config_id 0x07e20939 generation 0x00000067 total_disks 2 total_volumes 1 DISK# serial disk_sectors disk_id flags 0 <61ABD08TB> 1250263728 0x00000000 0x0000053a 1 <61ABD08SB> 1250263728 0x00010000 0x0000053a name RAID-0 total_sectors 2500517888 state 4108 reserved 0 offset 0 disk_sectors 1250259208 stripe_count 19535296 stripe_sectors 64 status 0 type RAID0 total_disks 2 magic[0] 0x01 magic[1] 0xff magic[2] 0x01 disk 0 at disk_idx 0x00000000 disk 1 at disk_idx 0x00000001 ================================================= ata3: Identifying devices: 00000001 ata3: New devices: 00000001 ata3-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA100 cable=40 wire ad6: setting UDMA100 ad6: 610480MB at ata3-master UDMA100 SATA 3Gb/s ad6: 1250263728 sectors [1240341C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue GEOM: ad4: partition 4 does not start on a track boundary.
