FastTrack 100 TX2 Question

[Zedekiah]

Okay...this is probably a very stupid question but i'll shoot because i just can't seem to find the answer anywhere (and yea I googled):

Does anyone know how to take the FastTrack 100 TX2 and turn it into a simple IDE controller on an XP system (I noticed when I did a search there came up a way to do it for Linux)? I'm just stumped...

When you're setting the drives up in the controller(like you would an array) there should be a way to set them up as individual drives.

Right...maybe making them up as their own arrays (the controller allows 4), but won't that erase the data on them?

 

[defakto]

I'm not actually sure. Might have to scrub that manual for information on that.

 

[Zedekiah]

for sure. im starting to think that it only behaves as a raid drive however....

conflict resolved. it turns out making the arrays for each individual drive works. they work as stripe w/ strip blocks running on 64kb. its this alright or is running them on 64kb strip blocks lagging me?
