Here is what I would do.

Clear CMOS - yeah start with factory settings, and hopefully clear out any corrupted code that might have been present.

Make sure your RAID drives are in the same SATA ports that you used to create the array - the Intel one of course. 🙂

Power up - F1 to enter BIOS.

Leave everything on defaults for now, no over clocking.

Navigate to the SATA section in the advanced menu, set your Intel SATA ports to RAID.

Now F10 ane enter.

You should all things being equal now be able to access your Intel Raid controller.

🙂 All good mate, but normally when you do a clear CMOS the motherboard is reset to factory settings. That means the CPU is initialized as for the first time. That is why the F1 comes up on the splash screen. And not sure if this has relevance I am only talking from a PC motherboard perspective, heck I do not even know where the Clear CMOS bottom would be on a laptop.

My comment was more in appreciation of your obvious sense of dry humour which I quite like.
