Hi people. Long time fan/lurker of this fine site but first time poster.
I'm having a hard time finding info on setting up RAID. I have a new build HTPC using:
Asus P8Z77-M, Intel i5 3570K proc, Samsung 840 (MZ) 120G SSD, Two WD (AV-GP WD20EURS) 2TB HD's, Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Installed OS on SSD and then connected the two HD's without any issues-everything recognized appropriately. In bios changed only visible setting of SATA from AHCI to RAID and OS won't boot up. I'm not apposed to OS re-instillation if need be. Tried installing all drivers from ASUS and windows updates. Virtually no help at ASUS site
My preference is to have OS on SSD and hardware based RAID 1 for the 2TB movie/media storage.
Am I missing something here? This can't be that complicated. I did this about a year and a half ago on an AMD based Win Server 2011 system (no SSD), but I don't do this much and I've forgotten how I did it.
Not really looking for a walk through, but pointing me at a good help site would be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Gino
