OK. Couldn't see under Vista: white icon (should have looked at the extension). I use Roxio on my XP system and saw right away. My anti-virus says one of the files in the devel folder is infected. Extracted only the ISO and burned it to CD. Installed GAG on the new Vista system, and even got it to work with the timer. The RAID 0 array (striping) does not seem to affect it. Now, the real question: how do I proceed to install XP using GAG? I didn't see any options other than to "add" an operating system once it's installed. So, I am back to square one looking for a way to install XP either on the RAID array, or on the secondary SATA-II drive running off one of the connectors managed by the on-board RAID controller.

well you got it....install new operating system is the one to go with. The best way for this is all ways keep them in their own partitions. Doesn't matter where the partition is located. Just follow the prompts and it will lead you through it!

Also there is a few FAQ amswers that will help you decide plus some read me files in the different folders!

Without trying it, I am not sure I fully understand the procedure. I will give it a try once I return from my trip in a few weeks. I am leaving for Calgary, AB early Friday morning. I doubt I will find any time to play with this on Thursday, but if I do, I'll let you know how I fared. Thanks
