Default GA-P35-DS3P (Rev. 1.1) RAID issues

I just updated to the new BIOS (F5), and now I cannot boot into the operating system because one of my HDDs has reverted to "Non-RAID" status.

Any ideas on this? I can get into the RAID configuration utility, so I can recreate the array, but it would be a pain to reinstall everything.

do you have your bios set to raid/ide?

The option is set to RAID (only way to access the RAID BIOS).

I read an older thread on a different forum posted by someone with the same problem.

There is not really any way to restore the array without losing the information on the HDDs.

I have a backup HDD, with all my important stuff on it anyways. And I did just rebuild the array and reinstalled everything. Working fine now.

New BIOS works well too. Improved HDD speeds while using the RAID, and I saw a 200+ 3DMark score increase when I ran it.

According to the Gigabyte website, it is supposed to improve system performance.
