That did the trick. Now running RAID 10 with one OS drive as the board ports and lack of additional keyed hardware for RAID 5 prohibit me from RAIDing the OS drive. Did get the replacement 3ware card; however, in production, it is my opinion that the intel RAID will suffice as long as we are imaging our OS backups with programs installed etc. Only problem may be our POS database I set up using thunderbird which stores the database backups and conf data under program files. May need to make SURE we are imaging that drive daily, or set up the 3ware card when time as it would allow me to RAID 5 = a mirrored set for the OS and program data. With the 3ware, it states "standalone" drive where intel is more vague, to me, at least, for any course I studied taught me that a RAID 0 consisted of at least 2 drives.
Thank you David, for your help!
