a raid controller is enabled in the bios. If you are not using a raid array, go turn it off.

That's on your DFI, correct? Is the onboard nF3 SATA controller set to RAID mode? If there's an option in the BIOS to disable the RAID capability of the SATA so it operates in "normal" fashion, you could give that a try.

Yah, you got trout-slapped:p
BW86, that is a strange one. I would look deeper into the bios, and see if there are other options regarding array control, and also quick boot options. Some of the turbo quick boots are so fast, you have to hold the "delete" key down when you boot up, or you never get into the bios. That might make the detection process effectively dissapear.
