    It hasn't become an issue...yet...but I am "locked out of my BIOS". Upon bootup, pressing F2 (repeatedly and holding it) from the point of powering up until Vista boot screen is completely ignored by the system.

    Is this due to the Intel RAID manager or should I still be allowed in my BIOS? Has anybody else ever been "locked out" and if so, what was done to fix this?

    Thanks
