Hi everyone, got some problem with the board.
I have 1 raptorx one SeagateSATA20, one WD IDE, bios reads them all as IDE, and raptor doesn't even show up at post even though it works fine in windows. I configured the SATA as standardIDE when installing windows, afterwards I figured out a way to enable AHCI on sata, but SATA HDDs are still read as IDE in boot up. How do i fix this?(i want bios to correctly display HDD feature and run whatever mode they are supposed to run).
System is on the seagate.
AM i better off grabbing another raptor and run in RAID?

re: Raptor not listed in BIOS
Which port is the Raptor connected to? You should have your two SATA drives connected to SATA1 (red sata port) and SATA3 (black port to the right of SATA1)

Also, only drives connected to ports on the ICH7R controller (SATA1, SATA3, SATA4, the two orange SATA ports, and the blue IDE/PATA port) will be displayed on the main page of the BIOS. Any drives connected to the black IDE/PATA port, the SATA port near the back of the board, and the e-sata port are being managed by the JMicron controller, and will therefore not be displayed on this page.

re: drives listed in BIOS as IDE with AHCI mode enabled
This is normal. At POST the AHCI/RAID driver has not yet been loaded. If you open the Intel Matrix Storage Manager console in Windows, it will list all drives running in AHCI/RAID modes.
