Getting RAID to work on the ASUS Maximus SE

[TheMash]

hello guys,
im a new user of Maximus Formula motherboard, and i'm from Italy
I really like this forum.
So i decided to try to get help here.
Searching on google about my problem didnt help.
So, here's my problem:
i've two maxtor sata (old sata, not SATAII) 120gb hard drives, that i configured in bios in RAID mode, i created raid with ctrl-i option in "0" mode (striping).
But everytime I start the system, after ram test, it freeze for 20-30sec on DET IDE status (this is what i read on lcd poster).
When it freeze my hdd activity led its turned on for about 10sec, then turn off and finally it comes turned on for further 10 sec...
After that my system goes out from "freezing" status and boot normally.
I had this problem with 902 and 903 bios.
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance

i'm having this same problem. updated to 1201 bios and still get hung on det ide. it won't boot at all. everything was working fine till i got a raid0 error in vista 32bits and after rebuilding the raid, everytime i reboot the mobo hangs on det ide, but only when raid is turned on. if i reset the cmos and raid is off, everything is normal and i can install windows on a single drive. it only hangs on det ide with raid turned on... but i want to build a raid10!! wtf... i really don't want to rma.
