Raid problems

Hi I have just finished my new build and im now in the process of seting up my 2 raptors in raid but im having a bit of trouble doing this, :mad:

My mobo is an EVGA nforce 680i an so far ive installed the raprors in terminals 1-2 ive gone into setup an activated raid and also activated channels 1 and 2 primary then I saved but apon bootup It wizzes past the bit where you press F10 for raid config stopping me from seting up a raid 0 configuration. :confused:

So if anyone has any ideas let me know or if ive done something wrong then put me straight.

there is no settings in bios to config the drives only to enable raid and tapping the F10 key and trying to pause the page doesnt work.
My concern is with the channel settings I have followed the instructions on this page.

but Im not sure which channels i need to onpem my drives are ind sata points 1 2 is that channel 1 & 2

Oh and both drives are showing up in bios.

Well I have managed to sort it I activated sata 0 Primary and secondary and even got windows on it but now im having another problem which may have been the route of the other issue,
One of my raptors is acting up every other bootup it vanishes the when it does boot into XP I go to do somnething and I get a bubble saying critical error on 1 of the drives. :mad:

There Western Digital Raptors and there not spanking new I bought them of ebay over 6 months ago and have been using them as a raid 0 storage drive ,
But I did check and WD say there still in warranty but it is no good as when installing I snapped the plastic bit on the sata power connection which doesn't change anything I just use the old style connection But in WD's small print it say warranty is void upon any damage.
