Right, either you build a raid system or you don't. 
What I meant by testing was to configure and install first without RAID,
and then trashing it and reinstalling with RAID. The BIOS should be capable
of turning RAID on/off; if the RAID is built into the MB, which I suspect it is.
If it is an add-on card, then one would simply remove the card and use the MBs
built in IDE slots. Provided of course the SATA drives can be plugged into the 
onboard IDE slots. I know the two ribbon cables and even pin configurations
are different between SATA and ATA.

As Holmes used to say, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, no
matter how improbable, must be the truth."
