Okay, I have an MSI 694D Pro-A motherboard with the Promise PCD20265 ATA100 controller plus a limited FastTrak BIOS with RAID function. I install Win2k on my hard drive this time and it will boot up fine on the regular IDE channels, but it is seen as a Free drive in the Promise RAID BIOS.

Dungeon Keeper 2
