Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Problems with Startup

Hello All,

I have just recently gotten 2 OCZ 120 GB SSD's for my computer. I have a Western Digital 1 TB HDD as well, and a BDU 10XS Blu-ray optical drive.
I am running a corei7 920 on an Asus p6t Deluxe V2 mobo. I have been able to set up the 2 SSD's in RAID 0

I have my 2 SSD's plugged into SATA 1-2, the HDD plugged into SATA 3, and my Optical drive plugged into SATA 4.

I'm having 2 problems (so far) with startup. When BIOS is starting up, when it starts autodetecting the SATA's, it hangs up on SATA 4 and stalls for a bit. It says "not detected" eventually, but once VISTA is all going, the drive looks fine. In fact, if I set the BIOS to boot from the optical drive, it will recognize it. The reason I'm wondering what the deal is, is because when I re-boot from shutdown, it's taking forever for this system to re-boot.

The other problem I'm having is that I have a Logitech g15 keyboard, and when starting up, it's not recognizing the keyboard. Therefore, I can't even use it to hit "DEL" to get into the BIOS. The keyboard won't be active until VISTA64 is about up and running.

Thanks for the help, folks.

If I switch the ports on the drives, it still hangs up on the blu-ray optical drive. The optical drive still works, but it's during the auto-detect in the bios that is hangs up for like 20 seconds or so, before going forward. Once I hit Vista, there are no issues.

This may be just something I will have to live with, but it's annoying that my usb keyboard isn't recognized and neither is my optical drive during start up. It's like, being 2 cents off on a balance sheet, and not knowing where you're off.

I have not. I imagine that the G15 needs some software loaded for the system to recognize it, and that software is not able to be loaded until Vista begins. I have a backup basic keyboard that I have plugged into a USB port, so if I need to, I can get into set up if I need to.

Thanks for responding!
