I have not used RAID before.
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?
