I just built a new computer with an ASUS K8V Mobo. I've disabled the on-board RAID controller. Here's what happens when I boot; The HDD spins up, then the bios flashes a splash screen, then the HDD powers down and then spins up again. Finally, it starts XP. Anyone know why the HDD is spinning down? It adds a delay to the boot time.
