Is it currently using Intel (aka fakeRAID)? If so, it's *not* in the BIOS, but rather you have to watch as it comes up, before it gets to the CentOS boot. You'll see something that tells you to hit <ctrl-something>, and in there, in the firmware, you'll disable it. Note that if you do, I believe that everything will be gone, and you'll have to rebuild or restore. I don't *think* software RAID will recognize what the fakeRAID left, though I could be wrong. mark
