from what i've seen... for identical drives..
put both drives on the same cable... and it'd read the same chs...
if you have hda and hdc... than you get the above situation...
i put it on the same cable, hda and hdb ....than format the disks...
than putit on hdc... and everything is happy...
-- also make sure that your bios is setup to autodetect exactly the
-- same way for both disks....
not auto for one and lba for the other etc
have fun raiding
