You added a second SATA drive. The "press Ctrl-i" prompts you to enter the RAID configuration menu, which is separate from the BIOS. You'll get that every time you boot regardless whether your drives are in a RAID configuration or not, so you can just ignore it.
For the new drive, all you need to do is boot to Windows and go into disk management to partition and format the drive.

Yes, so don't worry about it. Yes, it takes an extra couple seconds to boot.

Hi David,

Good luck!

Cheers for that Osprey . It threw me because i have never seen it before.
So even if i go into BIos and disable RAiD the action will still appear on the boot up screen ?
