Hi guys,
I've recently built a new PC as follows:
MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX770 4GB/OC
Samsung 840EVO 120GB SSD
WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Initially I only had installed the SSD (foolishly thought it would be enough), and installed OS and programs and everything worked fine. I then decided to wipe everything, stick in the 1TB HDD and enable Intel's SRT to allow me a lot more space. I wiped everything using DBAN and went to install SRT with a clean Windows 7 X64 install.
Now I've followed the instructions and gone into bios to change SATA controller to RAID. The guide then tells me that I can magically install Windows7 after that without any hassle, but I'm left with a warning in Windows set up that states I can't install Windows on either of my drives. Further clicking around tells me that apparently my hardware is not enabled and I need to enable it in BIOS (or words to that effect).
I should point out that during boot up there's a screen which flashes up for a shot while listing the Drives with the words "Non Raid Disk" in green next to them. Ctrl-I takes me to some RAID Configuration Utility but none of this is mentioned in the guides or other peoples problems.
Really appreciate it if somebody can help me out! This has been stressing me out for days!
