[PLUG] CD to boot, ATA card


So...do any PCI ATA controller cards support CD-ROM booting? The problem is that, even though it's possible to boot from the mobo controller, data transfers between the CD-ROM and HDD fail. I want to totally by-pass the onboard controller.

While on the topic of controllers, is it possible to to stripe two drives without losing data? (I just hoping it is, but I'm pretty much sure it isn't.)
