[tlinux-users:07775] Re: Linux on the Portege M400.

I am starting to get upset with this M400.

When I tried to change the BIOS setting from RAID (which is practically
useless since I have only one drive) to JBOD an error message was displayed
indicating that I needed to enter a key from the manual.  It did not say
which manual or whether or not it was an electronic manual.

I booted into XP and dug through the RAID manual (after having checked the
paper docs I received) and found no key.  I did, however, find a warning
stating that Windows would not boot from JBOD.

So: it would seem that I am at an impass.  I want to try JBOD mode to see
if I can load Linux, but I also want to keep a small-ish XP partition.

Is there any way to get Linux loaded on this machine, or do I return it?
