"Don't forget to press F6 if you are using SATA drives"

Why don't I need to that with my Raptor drive? :unsure:

maybe because your windows cd already contains the good drivers for the onboard sata controller ?

if you use the nForce native SATA connectors then it will work; if you use a 3rd party SATA controller then it will ask for drivers..

much like the RAID ports on a lot of motherboards
