Sorry, I forgot ya-tails can do that to a guy!

Just copied a .nrg of 2003 Server over from terastation to play with.
XP reports it as 542 MB.
From tera to esata box on bx2 over wireless G-about 7 minutes (samba 2 + wireless = sloooow)
From esata box to single drive on ich7r-about 10 seconds.
From single drive on ich7r to different partition on esata box-same.
From different partition on esata box to raid 1 partition on ich7r-same.
From...well, you get the picture. Works fine for me.

BX2 has xp pro sp2. Updated and clean-haven't loaded anything but testing apps on it yet.
The esata box in my sig is on the red port of the marvell.
There are no other drives connected to the marvell.
I loaded the marvell drivers via floppy when I installed the os.
I have not loaded the marvell control panel (apache thing) in windows.

Anything else you want me to try?

Maybe someone else who has vista can try it to see if it's OS specific.
