I have gotten a load of spare parts, im building a PC for friend,,, just an old thing with P4, 1Gb - but thing is the MSI motherboard MSI MS-7211 keeps going into RAID mode or something? tried 2 drives and forcing 150 SATA1 mode on one of the drives to - there is not settings anywhere in the BIOS to change from IDE to RAID or SATA - theres just On CHip SATA and its on - ive been through every single setting

what happens is on POST it only sees the IDE DVD drives - if I go into Boot Order it see;s the SATA drives there labelled as SCSI: MAXTOR 200Gb or SCSI: WD 160Gb depending on drive - if I go to load an OS it just says no drive exists

if i dont press anything to get into BIOS it says something about RAID and to press TAB to go into it - when I do it says only 1 drive connected, needs another..theres no option to disable raid anywhere?

can anyone help with this?

thanks
