That's where my initial confusion stems from. I fully expected to see some
type of RAID Configuration utility option during boot, but I don't recall
any such option. I believe the fast boot option is enabled in the BIOS. Is
it possible this would prevent the RAID Config option from being displayed
during boot, or does that simply skip memory tests, etc.? This is a brand
new machine I haven't had a chance to even dig into (one of the those Best
Buy deals that were too good to pass up). Unfortunately, my Fiance did have
the opportunity to transfer all of our photos, data, etc. prior to this
debacle.
