Will check. When I enabled the nForce RAID, the boot would hang on the
searching for ARRAY line. I tried it 2 or 3 times, and each time had to
reset the CMOS ust so that I could get back into the BIOS. Alas, I will
check again tonight, thank you!

Hi Prime,
you may have seen my post down just a little from yours. I seem to be having
the same problem with 2 Maxtors. In RAID config the RAID freezes while
searching for the discs as well. I've already returned 1 board, this is
really strange. Regretfully I'm still looking for answers as well. Sorry I
have no help now, but if something comes up, I'll post. Dave
