If the only SATA ports are for the ICH5 like my IC7 (non-G), then yes that's all you get ! If it has the Silicon Image add in chip as well, then I think there is a Raid driver for the other OS'es. If you use an add in card, then your HD data will hog the pci bus, the ICH5 uses a dedicated bus.

I was a die-hard Win2K user and until I built this system, I would multi-boot W98/W2K/WXP-P. I remove most of the XP desktop and it looks like W2K. With a little time investment you won't miss W2K, I don't !
