1 Most likely you need to get hold of a copy of the "Comaq SmartStart" CDs
2 for this machine to set it up to boot from an IDE drive, this will also
3 contain the Compaq Array Controller software which will enable you to
4 set up the 'BIOS' on the smart controller card to tun the array in the
5 way which you want to.
6 Try the Compaq website and see if you can find something there.
