Asus P8P67 Pro and RAID

Trollslayer · 17 Feb 2011 at 23:53

I have a P8P67 Pro with the current BIOS (27/10/2010) with W7 installed on a drived and have added two Caviar Black 1TB drives on STA 5 and 6 (blue) with the SATA controller in RAID mode.
When I reset it goes to the Intel Rapid Storage screen, displays the drives and has the message about pressing Ctrol + <I> to enter setup but it nevre does - goes straight oonto the BIOS.
I have tried USB and PS/2 keyboards which are fine with the BIOS settings.

Update the BIOS and micro code is the first step:

Then also move your HD's to the SATA 3 ports, 4 to the top. As the SATA 2 Ports will degrade over time and there is a plan to swap all effected mainboards.

Updated the BIOS but still can't get into the Intel RAID utility.
It does report the two drives correctly and says to press Ctrl + <I> to enter it.

I've got the array set up - Had to use the existing Windows 7 installation and download the Windows software from Intel which let me create the array:
