    Is there any way to choose which SATA card info appears upon boot ?


    I have a RocketRAID sata card, it boots up fine, shows RAID config screen just after the BIOS selection screen, etc. No problems. Today I bought a cheap JMB582 chip SATA card, 2 port, just to allow me to use 2 more drives as my motherboard ports are all used up. All works fine. However, my problem is only this new SATA card info pops up at the start now upon booting my PC, where-as before my RAID config and check screen would show up. I can't swap card slots (I am unsure if that would make a difference anyway) as this is the only place on my PC the card can be put. So how can I get my RocketRAID boot screen back up without removing the new SATA card ? Any driver tweaks ? It seems all drives, inc my RAID, all work fine in Windows 10, so I am not missing anything other than that boot up config screen that I like as it checks the RAID to make sure it is okay each time I boot up my PC, it allows allows me to go in to config screen if needed (technically I can do the same in the RocketRAID windows software though). Now all I get is a basic screen from my new SATA card saying what drives it finds, which is fairly pointless as it is not a config screen, just info. So if I had the choice of only 1 I would want the RocketRAID one to show. Any way to do this ?

    I have a B450 AORUS ELITE motherboard. I have checked BIOS settings and can't see any option to choose.

    Thanks for any advice.

    If there is a setting in BIOS to disable option ROMs, disable option ROMs.

    I will check. If there is, would this disable my RocketRAID one as well as the SATA one though ? I have a budget motherboard so I have a bad feeling my options will be limited.

    I checked in bios and I disabled Option ROM but sadly it just removed the SATA one and didn't bring back the RAID one, so it gets rid of them all. I don't seem to have an option to disable it for specific PCI slots, which I presume more expensive motherboards probably can. I don't suppose you know of any way to edit the firmware on a JMB582 chip SATA card to turn off boot option ? I know you can on some SATA cards. Thanks.
