Set up Raid 0 on HDD, boot from single SSD
Last response: in Storage
I was upgrading my motherboard and decided I was going to add an SSD to my storeage mix by adding a SSD drive for boot. I already have 2 HDD in raid 0 and it has windows. I have instaled windows 7 to my SSD with my new MOBO and it works fine, but If I plug in my sata drives and change the bios to raid, it wont boot.
My problem in a nut shell is how can I keep everything in my raid setup and use the SSD as a boot disk?
I want to keep the SSD in trim mode.

as soon as I set it to raid, windows refuses to boot. I made sure it booted from the SSD and not the raided drive, but it would get to the 'loading windows' screen than auto reboot.
I have it set to raid but I can change it to 'as sata type' or 'ide', both fail to boot.
DO I have reset the raid settings somewhere? BIOS sees the HDD in raid as long as I have 'raid' selected
