    Making a RAID card unbootable

    Thanks Alzan. I moved the RAID card to the middle PCIE slot, and it was the same, but I'll try to see if i can take it out of the detected boot device list, as you said. EDIT: That didn't quite work. I disabled it and it shows nowhere in the boot priority...but it still does the same thing...
