Just to confirm. You got "DISK BOOT FAILTURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" when booting from the Windows CD? Are you totally sure? Because if that is the case its nothing to do with the RAID. Yet. :)

its not about that now, got that portion fixed,
now my motherboaed does not see raid disk
all hard drives working properly and i even tried to use fresh drivers from gigabyte webpage, even updated bios
i am desperate now, and probablt will have to get raid card this week, pulled out too much hair out of my scalp :)
