Can I Disable the SATA RAID (BIOS) Loading Screen on Reboots?

On a system start-up or reboot, I go through the normal listing of Connected Devices, it then goes to a screen about booting off the network, waits a few seconds (as I don't boot from the network) and then it loads a screen about a SATA RAID Bios, I can press F11 or F6, or something similar, to configure, etc. It chills on that screen longer than desirable, as I dont have a RAID setup, and dont want one atm. (Within the RAID Configuration, if I press the shortcut key, it gives no options for disabling, etc.)
I'm running a Raptor 74g as main, and a 140g western digital as secondary, both SATA. They are not plugged into the RAID marked slots and they're on a ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe MB.

Is there a way to disable this bios option? Possibly even the network one? I can't find documentation on it in the manuals for the MB. Thanks for any help/ideas.
 
You may not have a "RAID" array in your mind - but - if you have a SATA drive that is essential, because the RAID/SATA COntroller is combined. If you have no SATA drive or drives, then you can disable that in BIOS and never see it - it will not load. But, neither will your SATA drives.
