Well the reversion to the 9.4.0.1 firmware did the trick. I put the entire rig back together using the P5K again and everything is happy. If a problem with RAID is acknowledged and fixed then I will most likely go back to the onboard but for not I will stay on the 3ware. I still have the problem every few boots of the paused dim xp loading screen for 30-40 secs and I have no idea if I still get a BSOD when installing the X-Fi driver cd as I just web downloaded but heh . I will send 3ware a note this week regarding the loss of compatability with the current firmware.
At least you are back on track and get to enjoy the new toy...one reason I don't jump on the latest and greatest bios until I know I need it. Make sure it's broke before ya go fixin it Congrats...
When it's good it's really good...And when it's bad I go to pieces...
