sorry if this has already been posted but

0903 has been pulled from the page and the ftp site..
0902 is now the latest beta

Not. Like I said before, use the ASUS master ftp server at ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...ximus_Formula/ . Any other location is a mirror that may roll back to an older copy of the master if it got hacked or corrupted (hence BIOSes "disappearing")

Edit: kup, the server you list as master in your thread is a mirror in germany. The master server is in taiwan.

The intel RAID/AHCI needs to be enable to be seen by BIOS and Windows. However, the iostar driver is not there so it can't load, and yet you can't add it to the OS if you can't get it to boot. This is why stil to this day, us S2K3 and XP users need the f6 install, because it needs to be enabled and directed to the floppy during initial install.

Use nlite to slipstream the driver into your Windows installation disk.
