Preventing VIA RAID during boot with a K8T Neo?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

Morning!

Is there a way to stop the VIA controller looking for RAID devices on a K8T
Neo MS-6702 VER 1.0 board?

The system has a single SATA connected to the VIA controller and I don't
need it to tell me there's no array found on each boot.

Thanks.

Just turn it off in the Bios

I am not familiar with this particular moterboard but on other mb's,
when the raid bios trys to load there is usually a key to press to
enter the raid bios.

OK, I looked on the MSI website and.....

You should have the Via vt8237 raid. As it boots press tab. This
should get you into the Sata Raid BIOS. You should have a choice to
delete array.

Thanks, I understood what the OP wanted. It was my point that if the
raid is enabled in the raid bios, then it looks for one on boot even
if it is not there. If you disable the raid in the raid bios, then it
should not look for one.

I might be incorrect, but it's worth a try.
