Press <Ctrl> + <M> during POST to enter the Marvell RAID utility to create or delete a RAID configuration.
If you want to install a Windows operating system to a RAID configuration created using the Marvell SATA controller, you have to create a RAID driver disk using the motherboard support DVD and load the driver during OS installation. For 32/64bit Windows XP OS, load first the Marvell shared library driver, and then load Marvell 92xx SATA Controller Driver. For Windows 7 / Windows 8 OS, load only the Marvell 92xx SATA Controller Driver.
