Does anyone know how to update the RAID Bios for this motherboard? I'd like to update the RAID Bios on it to make it current so I can use updated Windows XP x64 Drivers in preparation for moving to Vista. I have the current 3.9 bios applied, and just need to update the RAID Controller portion of the Bios.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Yes, and I've tried flashing my MB with the bios they have posted according to the following procedure... (adjusting it slightly for my particular MB...)

once I inserted the updated Silicon Image bios files into the bios and flashed it, the problem I ran into was that the bios still worked, but the raid controller portion totaly wasn't recognized and didn't even post.

I'm guessing that MSI has some customizations in their version of the raid controller portion of the bios that makes it work properly with the MB, but at this point I'm at a loss as to what would need to be tweaked to get it to work...
