Hi,

My best guess is that it is searching for RAID drives. These new motherboards come with RAID features ENABLED, but if you don't have a Raid drive set up (I would guess from your post that you don't), then you need to enter the BIOS setup menu and disable the RAID feature.

I don't know this particular board, but am very familiar with most ASUS boards. Give it a try and that should stop the search that finds nothing.

You should find this feature in the ADVANCED area of the BIOS setup menu. It should say something lke (examples only, not exact what yours says) NVRaid or Promise Raid controller. Turn it off to say DISABLED to stop the search that finds nothing.

Hope this helps. Post back with results.
