Howdy Folks,
I'm looking for some advice on a problem I am having with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and the RAID controller of this motherboard. I've got 1x Corsair GS CSSD-F128GBGS-BK and 4x Western Digital RE4 WD5003ABYX installed, and my goal was to install the OS to the Corsair and then use the Western Digitals in a RAID 5.
The issue I'm running across is that Windows refuses to install to the volume (even though it can detect it) when the controller is in RAID mode. Here is a list of solutions I've tried so far:
-Provide Windows the RAID drivers from the manufacturer's CD during installation
-Provide Windows the RAID drivers from the internet during installation
-Install Windows while the controller is in AHCI mode, running the manufacturer's driver CD and then changing the controller to RAID mode
-Plugging the Corsair in to the grey SATA ports on the bottom of the bank. I assumed they were the ones for the Marvell controller, however the Corsair still shows in the Intel controller configuration screen and installs/doesn't install Windows in a pattern consistent with the mode of the Intel controller.
Could anyone shed some light on exactly what's going on here?
Thank you,
