    Ever since i put my hard drive's into raid 0, my computer goes through a long and tedious boot screen where it verifies ram, checks for hardware, etc. I am not sure if there is an option to disable this boot screen, but that faster the boot time the better. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Enable "QUIET BOOT" in bios.
    Shows Gateway Screen, but the time needed is the same.

    I dont think you can enable quiet boot with raid enabled... I was wondering about this too but I dont think it can be done

    You can only enable Quiet Boot and RAID at the same time on the 7811 or later but as you said it makes no difference to the boot time as it still has to go through POST checks regardless. All it does it hide the POST screen with the Gateway logo. The POST is there for a reason.
