Yes, but before you start, be sure you have the XP CD and a driver CD - you will need to reload everything after you alter the RAID configuration.

ENJ63 Have just placed an order for a Dim9200 and I also don't want RAID but do want two separate hard drives. I think RAID is disabled from the BIOS, but based upon your reply, will I have to reinstall the os. If this is the case, it is not such a big deal as I would prefer to install W2k. Rex

I wouldn't count on being able to have full functionality with Windows 2000 - you will likely have to settle for some things not working due to lack of driver support.

Yeah, I sort of know that. If it is stuff like networking, that is no big deal. Guess when everything is up and running, I can set up a dual boot with W2k. Rex
