Serial ATA Raid1

[daviddeguzman]

I have 2 Seagate 120Gb SATA HDD's hooked up to an Sil3112 SATA PCI card. I want to convert to Raid 1, however I'm having no luck entering the Raid BIOS. I press Ctrl S during boot per the instructions, but it never enters the Raid BIOS. Any advise on what I'm doing wrong?
The Sil3112 Drivers are installed and I'm currently booting from one of the SATA HDD's hooked to the Raid card. Both are hooked up properly, formatted and are listed in Disk Management and My Computer.
I'm running Windows XP SP1.

Are you pressing Ctrl S at the right time? (when the RAID BIOS prompts you to onscreen) Are you using a cordless keyboard? (perhaps it's reacting too slowly)

I've tried it with 2 different key boards. I have ordered a new PCI card from Dell. It's an Adaptec. I figure it's something in the Dell BIOS that won't let me access it.
I'll post back here with the results.
