A question

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

How the heck do I turn off the raid utility?

[Dissectional]

I haven't figured that out either. It doesn't bother me much though, I usually keep my PC on 24/7.
Just in case the city needs me, since I can't afford a giant beacon light on top of city hall.

U have to put the harddrives in the "not raid" ide controller slots at your motherboard and u have to change something in your bios. Best is to look it up in the manual of your mobo and bios.

I did what you said Bain, and there is nothing in my BIOS that I can find or my manual.

You should hassle them some more! ha ha! They would probably hang up on you.

Hmm I have something in my bios called: OnBoard Raid with two possibilities (Enabled and disabled)

It's under the menu point Integrated Peripheals. But I have a MSI mobo so I think this won't help much :(

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Let me check there.
BRB

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Nothing in that section.
Here is what is there.

[Saretta]

and futher down? Maybe something with onboard Raid in another menu?

[Saretta]

Stupid question: Is it possible to have an NOT onboard Raid?

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Nothing anywhere.
Very odd.
I have the following
ASUS A7n8X Deluxe.
Its not a big deal it just takes about 10 seconds longer to boot up.

[Saretta]

I have an additional menu for my raid where I can combine my hd's or redo the combining. Maybe u find there something or u must seperate your hd's from each other.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I only have 1 hd installed.

[Saretta]

But then Raid wouldn't work.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

What it is doing is searching for a raid setup I guess.
I would just like to turn it off.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

It is in there. I used to have an Asus board that I had to disable it in the BIOS so that it would skip that on boot up.

[FUS1ON]

What about in the section where you tell the bios the boot sequence? example: 1st floppy 2nd cdrom 3rd HD-0

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Let me take a shot of that and I will post it

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Ok problem fixed,
My boot sequence was out of whack :WTF:

[Saretta]

Good that u fixed it :thumbs:

What did you have to do?

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I just reset the cmos and it booted properly for some strange reason it worked.

[Dissectional]

Oh...hmm.
