Last response: in Storage
Good day all,
I just picked up two WD drives that i wanted to set up in RAID 1 for storage, to my computer that curently has Win 7 on a hd non RAID. Its not working![:pfff:]( ":pfff:")
is this possible or did i just dump alot of $$ on two HDs that i cant turn in to a RAID. It will not boot when i have it set to RAID in the BIOS, but if i change it to IED i cant see my RAID hard drives when win boots up in my computer.....
OS: Win 7
Mother board: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
Hard drives: 2 x WD 2TB drive
Thanks for the Help.

Page 3-14 of your manual (select the OS on the Download tab) shows where to enable SATA as RAID.
Page 4-45 describes the steps you will have to do to set up a new RAID volume.

OK, after you created the RAID volume, did you save and exit BIOS, re-enter BIOS, and select the single Win7 HDD as the 1st boot drive?
Never mind, I just re-read your original post.
Have you installed the Intel Matrix Storage Console (second download on the left-side of the page) to your Win7 installation?
If not, do it.
Then see if you can set up a RAID volume inside Win7 with the Console.
