Hi all,
Hitting a bit of a road block with my current build. It's been about 3 years since my last build and my goodness things have changed!
What I am attempting to do with this new build is to set up a RAID 0 boot drive with 2x SSD, and also have a secondary separate single 2TB HDD to put all my media on (music, movies etc)
So far having hit a few road blocks, i have managed to get the raid set up, windows 7 installed on the raid drive, but for love nor money cannot get windows to then use the second drive.
I've read somewhere of the OS being installed first, then the drive physically put into the machine afterwards - however that was done in a machine using a single drive, then adding a RAID drive later.
Is it the same approach in reverse or am I missing something?
To guide the responses I have bought an ASUS mobo Z97-K and have flashed the BIOS to the latest version. Only way I could get win 7 to install was to do so using the latest intel RAID contorllers/Drivers but now I am stuck.
Pls help!
Thanks
