A question about the Raid utility

Hi there.

I just got a Abit NF7-S v2.0 yesterday and have a Q.

After I turn on my PC and you see the first screen with the information about the CPU, Memory, HD etc I get the following message:

"Press Ctrl-S or F4 to enter Raid Utility"

Then after a few seconds the following message appears underneath this message:

"Primary Channel: Drive not found."
"Secondary Channel: Drive not found."

What exactly is going on here and how can I just make my PC boot up from the HD straight away as opposed to going through this process?

Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing! I looked in the BIOS and the manual and really didn't find anything. I never really read up on the raid thing so I really don't even know what its about so I'm really in the dark.

disable SATA in the bios

You have to disable the on-board Serial ATA Controller from the "Intergrated Peripherals" in the Bios and then disable the "Onboard PCI Device".
