Hi, my first time here, hope this will be ok in this area. I have a brand new system running on Raid1 and need to install another HDD but without Raid.

System:
ASUS Maximus Extreme Motherboard
Vista Ultimate 64bit Windows
2x 150 WD Raptor Sata HDD on Raid1(performance and backup setup with main boot drive)
(Installing a 750GB Sata Seagate without being on the Raid, primary is just used for more storage on the computer.)

Each time I connect the Seagate HDD I have it listed on the Raid Volume which is not what I want. Looks like this for the Matrix Storage Manager:
Raid Volumes:
Volume0 - Raid1(mirror) (Size 139.7GB) (Status Good) (Bootable Yes)

Physical Disks:
Port 2 - Seagate 750GB - Type/Status, Member Disk(0)
Port 4 - WD 150 Raptor - Type/Status, Member Disk(0)
Port 5 - WD 150 Raptor - Offline Member
==I do not want the Seagate on the Raid, just the 2 Raptors==

I have my BIOS setup:
J-Micron PATA/SATA Conntroller is Enabled
Controller Mode is IDE
JMicron SATA/Raid OptRom is Enabled
SATA Confirguration is set to RAID

I know something I am missing but I am not fully aware of the setup on Raid and Non-Raid on Sata drives. Anything you guys need to know let me know thanks.
