Hi lkboop,
thanks for all the effort you make. I could solve my problem by changing the
configuration like this
1. Load Optimized Defaults -> YES
2. menu Advanced Bios Features / Full Screen Logo Display -> Disabled
3. menu PnP/PCI Configuration / Init Display First -> PCIEx
4. menu Integrated Peripherals /
Onboard JMB361 Mode -> Disabled
Onboard Intel Lan Boot Rom -> Disabled
Sous-menu IDE Devices Configuration / PCI IDE BusMaster -> Enabled
Sous-menu SATA Devices Configuration / SATA Mode -> RAID
5. Save & Exit Setup -> YES
When the computer has reboot, he found the RAID0 automaticaly and start my
OS.
Thanks for your help
See you,
Tommy
