    Hi there. I have a Seagate Sata HDD. 80gb model ST3800AS. The drive is now
    running through a SIIG 2 channel PCI/SATA controller. I plan on getting a second HDD to match the one I have and a Raid controller. The Seagate
    software for doing a low level format won't work through a controller card. I've already talked to a Seagate Tech. Do I need software to format this drive
    or will Win XP Home do the job? My MOBO is an MSI 661 ML, CPU is P4 3.06
    Ram is 512mb generic ( Not a great rig, but totally fathfull for 11months)
