Hi

Would first like to say thanks for all the good answers on this page. I've used it quite alot while upgrading my pc.

I do however have a problem i cant find an answer to.
I've just upgraded my pc, and installed win8 on it. I have a hd setup of 1x ssd, 2x 250gb, and 2x 2Tb.
My plan was to put the 2x 250gb in raid0. I found out here that i need to go into the BIOS and change from AHCI mode, to RAID mode. I've also found a place in the BIOS where i can make the raid0 array.
However, when i try to boot the pc wont detect my OS.
Is the win 8 version installed while in AHCI-mode uncompatible with the raid-mode? Even tho the SSD is not in an array?
How can i get the two disks in raid0, and get the pc to detect my OS?

Did you get an answer to this? I'm facing the same problem: I want to configure an SSD for the boot drive and then set up a RAID1 mirror pair with a pair of hard drives. Can't get Win 8.1 to install. It looks to me like the Bios is reporting the SSD as not a bootable drive.
