wanderer I actually did that but then once i boot into windows I do not see the drives. Plus where do I confirm that the drives have been detected by the bios? You know the screen that comes up after the asus splash screen showing the slilicon screen with crtl+s, well when you disable silicon in the bios that screen no longer shows up so how do I know if my drives have been detected? And it doesnt seem like they have because under configuration manager in windows none of the drives show up
