I'd say, most definably. Of course everyone's implementation of the RAID 
BIOS is different, but if there is on disk configuration thats written 
at the time of the RAID being enabled, I'd presume that'd hose you. Do 
you know who's RAID format your board uses? Perhaps sos@ can comment as 
he's much more familiar with the nuts and bolts as it were...
