However when I try to boot from the drives with the : 2940, it says "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM". Does anyone know of a way : around this problem? I had that same problem running 2.0.5. I switched from a Buslogic to a 2940 and got that message. The only way to fix it was to backup, low-level the HD using the Adaptec and re-install from backup. I believe that the way partitions were created in 2.0.5 had a bug that was fixed in 2.1 because I can now switch controllers without encountering that problem. Cheers, Ross Walker
