    ok i fixed it...started going through options and found this "onchip ide channel1" - enabled....disabled it and presto no more detecting array...so what exactly is onchip ide and did i slow anything up by doing that?

    edit - ok i was quick to post...im a dumbass i just realized that it didnt detect array because now my harddrive and dvd is not recognized...going to turn it back on now
