I just installed this MB last night using my RAID 0 array of 2 Seagate SATA HDDs from an ECS nForce 570 motherboard. It took the drives fine booting from then and went through the hardware configuration changes and I had a fully and nicely functional system with the original RAID array from the ECS nForce 570 motherboard. I had to do some changes to get all the hardware working but after numerous reboots everything worked without a clean install. Then this morning I started up only to find it not booting. It does not recognize the RAID array and not only that, it will not let me into the RAID BIOS configuration utility, it seems to just skip it. I tried everything I know of, checked all the BIOS settings and no luck. It sees the 2 drives but will not go into the RAID setup menu during boot, does not even offer the option using the F10 key. I even attached 2 new SATA drives and still no RAID setup menu. I reset BIOS, reflashed BIOS, everything I can think of. If anyone has any idea what to try next please let me know. I could try loading windows again but can't even do that on the old drive, the new drives, et. al. Kind of desperate and not knowing what to do. Maybe a bad MB? Who knows.

Are you sure you have the Raid funtion turned on in the Bios and set correctly?
Have you tried inserting the XP disc and doing a repair installing the raid drivers by hitting F6 after the license agreement screen?
