The literature distinguishes between hardware level RAID and software
RAID. Which do I have? My OS is XP Pro and the motherboard is a ABIT
KU8 that features "on-chip Serial ATA served as RAID". The chipset is
ULi M1689 single chip. It also requires installing a driver. Does
being "on-chip" make it a hardware RAID or does the driver make it a
software RAID?
The reason that I ask is that Symantec Support says Partition Magic 8
supports hardware RAID but doesn't mention software RAID. They say
that "the boot or system partition cannot be on a stripe set." I hope
to configure two SATA HDDs as a RAID 0 array that would also contain
Windows XP Pro.
