I finally got my first build up and running a month ago and I'm still in the process of getting everything fine tuned. The big problem I have is that Windows does not list my third hard drive under the 'Hard Disk Drives' on My Computer. I am running two Raptors in raid on a NVIDIA raid...

Thanks to everybody who helped last night. I had to setup my raid array before loading windows onto the HD. Everything is up and running now and it's GREAT!!

OK, lesson learned. I have made my driver floopy. I'll update after the installation.

no, it never asked me to. it did ask if I wanted to install RAID drivers, F6, do I have to install drivers for SATA also?

well, it seems like the mobo is not recognizing the raptor at all. it has a two places to detect secondary IDE drives, but it says nothing on there about any of the four SATA controllers.

It really doesn't say 'Hard drive 0'. Here are the options on the list: Floppy LS120 Hard Disk CDROM ZIP USB-FDD USB-ZIP USB-HDD Legacy LAN U?50J NVIDIA Boot Age Disabled

Patience young grasshopper.

OK, it's loading now....I have my fingers crossed.

OK, I'm disconnecting the other drives. Honest to God, thanks for the help!!!!!

OK, I did that and went back into BIOS and changed the first, second, and thirs boot devices to hard disk. After I saved and it restarted, it is still coming up with "Boot from CD: ".

OK, I left it alone after setup this time and it restarted my CPU then the setup came back up and asked if I needed to load RAID drivers, then it asked if I wanted system recovery, then it started loading tons of drivers, again. After the drivers loaded it says 'welcome to setup this portion of...
