    Hello, I've been through the bios a hundred times, cannot find the option to configure raid.

    During bootup, the screen flies by so fast, I do not see other options to access.

    Nevermind, it took 101 times in the bios to find the option. Would have been nice if these settings were in the manual....

    Anyhow, so far my G51VX rocks, I'm preparing to reformat and run RAID1 and load Windows 7x64. Been using Windows 7 and it is fast.

    Using RAID1(I know it drags down performance, but I hate rebuilding after killing a disk), for safety until I upgrade to fast Solid State.

    In the BIOS, you need to go to the advanced tab and select IDE Configuration. Select SATA Operation Mode (I think it's the first one) and set it to RAID.

    Edit: Isn't it funny how it's always solved minutes after posting the topic? :p
