MoBo: nvidia 680i chipset mother board
HDs: 4x 400Gb Samsung

When I build it I couldn't create a bootable raid due to the lack of a floppy drive and having no working machine to help, I was also keen to get working so I installed windows on one hard drive leaving the other 3.

I have since come back setting them up as a bootable raid and created a slipstream windows cd with the nvidia drivers that works very well.

My problem is that on the bios raid setup it only shows the 3 remaining disks. I also want to include the disk I've already installed windows on (well aware I will lose all data on it.) How can I make it appear in the list to include it in a raid array?

I found the problem, I hadn't looked around the bios fully. There is a page where all the sata channels are listed and there is an option to enable or disable raid on each of them. I had the HD in normal use set to disabled.
