    Hope this is in the correct forum, apologies if not.

    I have an Asus K8V-X mobo with 2x120gb Sata drives setup in 0 Raid Array but I want to get rid of the array and just use them as seperate hardrives in the same PC, can someone just confirm if its just a case of pressing TAB on boot to get into the Array setup and then deleting the Array then rebooting with the XP disc in to install?

    I cannot find any Raid settings in the BIOS and just want to confirm what to do before going ahead, I understand I will loose all the data but I dont mind.

    Thanks in advance

    Press DEL during POST. Then goto: Goto Advanced>onboard devices>"onchip SATA boot rom" and dissable it.

    Thanks for the reply, can I just check its ok to do that if i still want to run them as Sata drives, just not in a Raid array?

    Thanks

    Just a quick update to say I deleted the Raid Array by pressing TAB to get into the Raid BIOS and it all worked fine, DONT disable the SATA Boot Rom if you are running SATA drives.

    Thanks
