I have the asus p4p800 deluxe and a maxtor ata 133 drive. The manual says that the primary IDE suports up to ata 100, but the raid supports ata 133.

Can I plug a single hard drive in the primary raid and still use it, or does raid only work with two or more hard drives.

thanks

The single drive will work on the RAID controller, but it won't be RAIDed. RAID requires multiple drives, but your RAID controller doesn't require you to RAID your drives.
