Hey, today i bought myself two WD 160GB SATA drives. The hardware
installatino went fine, i booted up and the RAID bios recognized my drives
and told me to hit F4 or <ctrl+S>. i did so but nothing happened... i did
it again and i got 80,09. i have no idea what this is. i thought maybe it
had started loading something, but nothing was happening.... i hit ctrl+s
again and got 06,02... i hit it a bunch more times and more numbers kept
coming up until it just booted to windows on my old hard drive... so by
hitting ctrl+s a bunch more times i got more numbers... this is what was
underneath my two listed drives before it booted to windows:

80,09
06,02
82,00
83,00
84,00
85,00
01,01

What is all this?? I was supposed to get a menu for RAID configuration but
i got this garbage... Would updating the SATA controller bios remedy this?
If so where would i get an update? i searched the asus and silicon image
sites but found nothing...

Please help me out.

Thanks alot

Kevin
