At this point, its obvious to me of many things.
1. Its an Award bios
2. Its obvious at boot time how to enter the bios settings via DEL as its
stated on bottom of the screen.
3. This thread is going nowhere fast.
4. You asked at the outset how to enter the bios, see 3. above.
5. You have no idea what RAID is per you response, but probably do anyway.
End response. End all future responses this thread.
STOP...

Speculation on a product or material that is
an obvious need, is not speculation per se
as there is no risk to the speculator.
Common were those selling food and other
supplies in the gold rush days.
In this case, its oil and its everyone who
bites the bullet. And most everyone has no gold
to be made, just business as usual.
