I got my SB RMA in the mail yesterday so I replaced my old motherboarrd and neglected to reset my RAID setup (2 Intel SSDs) because I had intended to wipe them and start from scratch. When I first booted up, the prompt for the Intel BIOS (Ctl+I) showed up and said that my 149GB array was damaged and could only see one drive. I decided to delete the RAID volume anyway. After, I never got the prompt for the BIOS again, despite my SATA being set to RAID mode.
The SSDs work fine in AHCI or IDE mode as two separate 80GB drives.
Any ideas? I tried hdderase with varying degrees of success. Sometimes I couldn't bypass the ATA freeze status, but other times it seemed to say it worked around it. I have a feeling that if I truly wiped my drives, then the Intel Matrix BIOS would show up again but maybe it's failing to initialize either or both drives, thus disabling the BIOS? I assume that I did not brick the BIOS and that it is a drive issue.
