I'm sure it can do mirror. try use only identical HDDs, and place them
separately cross raid controller (eg. if only 2 HDDs, each as master drive
on Promise controller channel).

To get win2k setup working with onboard raid, I've found that you need to
copy the driver from asus CD to a floppy, and can only use that driver, the
one download from asus website doesn't work. I've seen this problem few
times already. It appears like, Promise controller needs exact driver to
match its revision number/chip mode number.

Hi All
I have purchased an ASUS A7V133 with onboard RAID. It says it will do both
mirroring Or striping but I can only get it to Stripe.I would rather have it
Mirrored. It has the Promise FastTrack100 Speed Bios. I create the array to
get it to recognize the disks but still there is no option to mirror. The
manual only has options for Striping but the CD comes with drivers for Raid
0 or 1. I have loaded Win 98 on but I can't get Win2k going even during
setup I nominate the 3rd party disk drivers. It seems to accept them but a
little bit later it comes back and says "No disk drives present" Press F3 to
reboot. I even tried to set it up as an upgrade from Win 98 but I keep
getting a typical NT blue screen of death. I am at a loss here. Anyone got
any ideas??
