I'm not sure what you're asking. Is it not being seen in the bios?
Or, is it not being seen in Windows? If it's not being seen in the
bios, I would suspect the drive hasn't been formatted. Is it?
Also, did you install the Sil RAID drivers to Windows and reboot?
I would suggest, your Sil controller isn't turned on in the bios.
But, if that were true, it wouldn't be going by on the first boot up
screens. It sounds like someone is a bit confused.
Use a little more detail
