detecting array

ive had a lot of problems with my new system. I finally got it working yesterday, and when i brough it home and plugged it in, after the initial boot up screen i get the following message...

MediaSheild ROM BIOS 5.60
copyright (C) 2005 NVIDIA Corp.
Detecting Array...

i have the following hardware...
ASUS M2N-SLI
500W true power supply
2x Nvidia 8600GT
creative sound blaster card
AMD 6400+ duel core processor socket AM2
3GB ddr2 800 ram

I have tried the following to correct the problem

removed each component and placed them back in 1 by 1
reset bios to default
and im aware the key problem to this is having the raid setting enabled... it is disabled.

I have no more ideas....:cry

 

Well, if you want RAID, you have to enable it in bios, & set up the array. Look up the RAID section in your mobo manual. It explains everything from start to finish. Also, some boards are picky about the SATA/IDE connectors. In that case, you have to plug the drives in certain connectors.

 

well thanks for the suggestion, but after trying that i thought hey why not test the ram... turns out to be a faulty peice of ram... god knows how it was causing the problem :confused
