    Post ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe boot

    hi, i am not sure if anyone have this problem or i just do not know how to switch it off. anyway when the computer is booting up, before the windows loading screen appears there is a screen where is say that you can press "ctrl+s" or "F4" to enter RAID setup i think. i was just wondering how i can remove that as i do not need it and it is slowing my boot time.

    thanks

    Go into your BIOS, Advanced, Onboard devices configuration, Silicon Image SATA controller, disable it. But you can't use SATA 5-8 once you do that.
