Has anyone else had this issue? I'm building my first workstation with two hdds (non-RAID), one for the OS and programs and the 2nd for data. In the BIOS, the drives show as two in a RAID 0 config. If I try clearing the CMOS (battery, jumper, and pulling the 24-pin from the sys bd), unplugging one drive and reloading the OS, no drives show-up when it's time to partition the drive (but it does in the BIOS).

Set-up is:
ASUS P6X58-E WS
Xeon Dual Core W3550
WD Caviar Blue 500GB, SATA6 x2
Kingston DDR3 ECC 1333 @ 4GB x3
Win 7 Prof 64-bit.

Can anyone make any suggestions for a newbie?
