Hello fellas.
This is m first time posting on these forums. I always come here for answers, but first time asking a question.
I'm helping a friend upgrade his alienware desktop from the RAID 0 It came with, to a SSD.
After installing the SSD and unplugging the RAID drives, we installed using the factory disks we made earlier. The OS install went through with no errors. On reboot, the drive was not recognized and wouldn't boot.
I disabled the RAID in BIOS, and set the boot to legacy instead of UEFI.
There has to be some weird bios setting I'm overlooking. I looked a the drive on my machine, the file system looks right.
I always assumed that installing an SSD was about the same as installing a normal HDD. But I've never downgraded from a RAID to a single drive.
Please, if anyone has any ideas on this it would mean a lot to me.
Thank you for your time.
-Mike
