Default 3 SATA drives, boot problem

i have 2 74gb raptors in a raid 0 config connected to my onboard sata. i purchased a sata controller card and a 250gb sata drive. the system boots fine with the 2 raptors on the onboard but when i plug the sata controller in and initialize the 250gb drive, it keeps wanting to boot the 250gb drive on the controller card and skips the onboard sata startup. if i do not initialize and setup the 250gb drive i have the option of hitting esc to skip and it boots normal(i don't have this option when i setup the drive) does anybody know anyway to make the onboard controller boot before the pci controller card? i would really like to keep the 2 raptors booting from the onboard rather than moving them to the controller card. can anybody help?

i have an Asus A7N8X deluxe rev. 2 motherboard and a PCI Promise FastTrack S150TX 2plus sata controller card.

try going into your bios and set your onboard raid configuration as the primary boot. the card may have changed that setting when u plugged it in.

i don't see an actual raid option in the bios anywhere. in the boot sequence i was told to use the scsi for sata and i am but it still wants to boot from the pci controller card.
are there any keys i could maybe press to make it bypass the pci controller card boot and mit maybe go to the onboard?
