I aint seen boot so often in a post since I mistakenly typed S & M instead of M & SThickbrit said:Yes,before you set up the raid, your h/d's on ports 1+2 appear as individual drives in "hard disc boot priority" (along with bootable add-in device and any other h/d's).After you create the raid you will only see bootable add-in device and any other h/d's in "hard disc boot priority".Your raid is your bootable add-in device (because you set "bootable add-in device" to "on-chip sata raid" and hence, you move it to the top of "hard disc boot priority" to boot from it.I dont know why you couldn't install IAAR,but I've run with and without it,and couldn't tell the difference.If i'm confusing anyone,maybe this is clearer...
