RAID-Only have one hard drive but start up looks for Array

I have installed a Gigabyte GA-7DXR motherboard and only one hard drive. On start up, I get a message that says No Array defined. In Bios, it is set to look for RAID, then ScSI. If I change that setting, will it fix the problem? Thanks.

If you are only running one drive then you are not running raid..
Raid is two (or more drives) one drive is a mirror of the other or it is stripped where two drives are acting as one to improve speed.

Just set it up for a standard drive and you will be fine.

Thanks. How do I set it up for a standard drive? Do I do that in Bios? At the moment it is set to look for Raid then ScSI and I think I can change it to look for ScSI first. Should I change that setting?
