2. Use the arrow keys to move to the "Advanced" menu, scroll down to "Ad-
vanced Chipset Control" and then select "SouthBridge Configuration". Once
in this submenu, scroll down to "OnChip SATA Type" and choose the "RAID"
option.
3. Hit the <Esc> key twice and scroll to the Exit menu. Select "Save Changes
and Exit" and hit <enter>, then hit <Enter> again to verify.
4. After exiting the BIOS Setup Utility, the system will reboot. When prompted
during the startup, press the <CTRL+A> key when prompted to run the
