AV8 boot issue with Raid

I'm running this system with a Raid 0, no problem setting up the array
and getting the OS loaded, I want to run a second drive on IDE1 and
use if for the swap file and storage. As soon as I power the drive on
IDE1 and attempt to boot the system wants to boot from this drive.
SATA Raid is enabled in the bios, I've tried multiple boot oders even
disabling boot 1 thru 3 device. This is a pretty std configuration on
most boards (I had the same thing on the soyo dragon I just replaced).
What's the catch?

You don't appear to have set the boot priority correctly. At the top of the
Advanced BIOS Features property sheet you'll see the "Hard Disk Boot
Priority" option with "Press Enter" next to it. Hit enter on that and you'll
be taken to a submenu that lists the boot devices. You'll see the drive
you've got connected to IDE 1 Master as well as the "Bootable Add-In
Device". Hit PgUp, + or whichever key it is to swap them round. Save
settings and reboot.
