When my computer boots up I get this message and don't know what it
is:

Press (CTRL-S) or F4 to enter Raid utility

What utility is it talking about? And do I need it if I'm not using a
Raid array, I'm just using two WD Raptors on the SATA1 and SATA2
connections with a few more IDE drives on the IDE connections.

The utility to set up your RAID array.

Doesn't sound like it.

The computer pauses for almost 10 seconds ( I guess it's waiting for a
response) so how can I stop from seeing it during bootup?

Do I have to disable it in the BIOS (where) and is it talking about
the SATA_RAID1,2,3 and 4 connections?

Hopefully this will help.... If you are using a sata card, there is a jumper set on pin 1 & 2, set the pin to 3 & 4 and start your pc, you will notice that your hard drives or what ever is attatch to this card will not be there, but dont frett because after a few minutes a new set of drivers will asked to be installed and everything will fixed.
Ive done this with my Dell XPS with an addonics raid controller card for 2 extra hard drives.
Good Luck
