I have a GA MA785GT UD3H motherboard with Windows Server 2008 R2 installed on a RAID1 using the on-board RAID controller.

I have now installed a RocketRaid 2680 controller and set up a RAID5 for all my data to be stored on.

Unfortunately I now cannot boot from the RAID1 anymore, the PC is trying to boot from the RAID5!

Does anyone have any experience of this motherboard / RAID controller combination?

When using the SQLIO benchmark tool on a 4-core Dell server with 6 15k 450GB (fast) drives, RAID 0, we found the max throughput was 2MB per second.

I've got a Windows 7 installation image on my USB hard drive, which is set up to be bootable.
