 |
|
Hello,
I am configuring a dual boot system (Vista and Win XP). Rather than
purchasing new 10K SATA drives (to use as system drives), I have access
(much cheaper) to a used Adaptec 2120S U320 SCSI RAID Controller and two
Fujitsu U320 36gig 10K drives. I just want to run these drives in single
drive mode (non RAID) and have one OS on each. Is that possible to do with
this particular adapter?
Thanks,
Shane |

You're welcome.
Btw, your newclient also appears to be broken.

Yes, you can do it with any SCSI adapter. You can select which drive to boot from in the SCSI BIOS configuration, or you can boot from one drive and use the Boot.ini menu to select which OS to start.
