Ive just got myself a GA-8KNXP and 2 SATA drives.
I have had a look through the manual but it was a bit vague and only mentioned RAIDed drives.

Im running 2 SATA HDDs and 2 CD drives.

The SATA drives will not be in a RAID.

How do I set up the Bios so it will boot off one of the SATA drives?

Do I still have to hit F6 on install and install the RAID drivers even if Im not using RAID?

If so, does if have to be on a floppy or can I burn it to a CD? (I dont have a floppy in the system and don really want to put one in)

If you don't have HDs on regular IDE channels, just hook up SATA drives to Intel SATA controller (connectors near the edge of the board) and it will boot without additional drivers. Make sure that RAID options in BIOS are off.
