Still not working. I am getting frustrated and I tried to do only the RAID 1 with 2 disks and tried to boot with OS cd and couldn't get the OS (XP) CD to install the OS. I get a blue screen of death when I tried to install the OS. I am at loss now and don't know what I can do. Please help me.

Thanks

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.
