Hi, I am using software raid, pensions do not extend to buying real raid 
cards, using mdadm and palimset.
After many re-installs and watching what I am doing, I finally have the system 
running. The system is set up to use AHCI. on all systems that support it.
Many Thanks for answering my call, I am just restructuring, my systems to get 
the best method of using the computers that I have.
