Haven't seen anyone else post this problem on the P4C800E-Dlx

I have 2 IDE Western Digital Drives connected to the Onboard Raid controller - These are NOT the SATA drives that seem to have a lot of posts about problems with those.

The RAID was working fine. Then I flashed the BIOS. (Good thing I saved the BIOS before I flashed it!)

Ver 1014.003 is the only version which seems to recognize the Raid. The Other Bios Versions (1015, 1016, 1018, 1019, and even the Beta 1020 don't seem to work with the RAID)

I know that when you first install the OS, you need to install the Promise Raid Drivers, and the Device manager shows the Raid Controller. With the New BIOS versions, the Controller doesn't appear on the list.

If anyone has any helpful suggestions on how to resolve this problem PLEASE let me know!

Thanks
