Hi Ace-a-Rue,

Tried what you have suggested but I don't see any option to make my WD 640GB Non RAID HDD bootable. Am I doing some thing wrong here, do I need to do something else. I can go into Intel RAID BIOS but I see 4 options:

1. Create Volume 2. Delete Volume 3. Modify Volume and 4 Exit.

I haven't found any place to change the Bootable option for the Non RAID hdd.

Let me know if there is anything I can do.

thanks

i was off on the place to set the single bootable drive to boot from.

you want to use Sata ports 1-4 for your raid and single bootable drive...DVD ROM/writer should occupy Sata ports 5 or 6.

once you have Intel Raid enabled and then saved, re-enter the bios and click on "Advanced Bios Features"...from there, click on "Hard Disk Boot Priority"...your raid, your single bootable drive and any other drive should show up there.

now, put the single bootable drive to the top of the list...save and it should boot off that drive if you have Hard Drive as you first choice in the "Advanced Bios Features."

if you want to boot from your DVD drive first, look in the list under "Advanced Bios Features" for the actual name of the DVD writer....select that to be the first choice....so...that will force the bios to look to DVD drive before it looks to the single bootable drive for the boot command....also, don't forget to make Hard Disk or Hard Drive as your 2nd choice.
