As above a friend of mine is try to set Raid '0' up and has plugged one Seagate 250gb drive into the Raid port on the motherbaord but now can't see where to plug the other drive and he's also having issues findng the correct settings within the BIOS?

Anyone with this board and Raid care to point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance!

Is that the WiFi board? If so I have it :). Have it set up with RAID 0. The two things to bear in mind are:-

1. There are TWO Sata RAID ports - check the manual that came with the mobo, since it tells you which two and from memory they are a different colour to the other RAID ports

2. The Mobo also has RAID jumpers for this set up - default is set for RAID 1 (or mirroring). You need to remove one of the jumpers to set it to RAID 0 - again, the manual tells you which one.

You CAN use the other SATA ports for RAID, but far easier IMHO with the above, since you don't then need to install RAID device drivers etc, or at least I didn't need to when I set mine up.
