No I had to wipe and reload my drive to configure them RAID 1 as opposed to how they arrived, set up in zero. So I was on the phone with tech support there for a bit and this is what they told me actually. You no longer really need your discs. Now I'm not totally buying it so I'll take a copy of my dics none the less... But it is checking the hardware and then enter the pre-installed some where key for that machine. My question there is what if I needed a new mother board or bios, where ever they are hiding it???
