Oh baby.

So I've finally fired up the THROBBING BEAST OF POWER.
IT throbs. Yea verily, with Power.
Keyboard sucks ass, though. Logitech, what were you thinking?
27 customizable special buttons, though. Including volume and scrolly wheely shit. Wonder what FreeBSD will make of *that*?
Though I think I'll take the crap keyboard upstairs, and keep the dodgy old one down here. Mostly because the keyboard and mouse are a bundled wireless thing, and I prefer my trackball.

But fast. SO very, very fast.

Pop Quiz: Why do otherwise apparently sane people use Microsoft Windows XP?
2000 was bad enough, but really.

Windows is not my bitch....

Ok.
Once again, I appeal to the windows clued among you.
Attempting to install W2K on the THROBBING BEAST OF POWER, I discovered that the W2K install CD doesn't recognise my RAID setup.
It's an Abit IT7 motherboard with onboard RAID, and a single Maxtor drive, that shows up fine as C drive in WinXP.

But W2K says "No hard drive". Fair enough. Any ideas on what drivers I need (I have the motherboard driver CD), and more to the point how to load them in the W2K install process?

FreeBSD, lest you think I'm being smug, doesn't recognise the keyboard. I would go back to my dodgy old keyboard, but I've discovered that the THROBBING BEAST has no ps2 ports. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

10 USB ports, though.
What am I going to do with 10 USB ports??

It's fast, though :)
