Problem:
built the new computer, loaded windows on the boot drive, adjusted the standard things in the bios (ie nothing more than boot priorities, usb keyboard), updated windows, loaded the gigabyte utilities (a few) + the raid tool, loaded misc drivers for the rest and it is up and running (using right now). I decided to get back in the bios and setup the 2 1TB drives in Raid 0.
Set XHD to enbaled and saved. Get to the raid configure screen (ctrl I) and create the raid - 250gig / 1613gig. Saved and get sent to bios - check boot priority and it had changed to show my Seagate as the boot drive, I changed it back to the 80gig ssd and F10'd.

Gets to the "starting windows" logo and crashes. I had to take video of the crash and replay it frame by frame just to read the message it flashed so fast.... Anyway, it just says "experienced an error, check for viruses - check HD's and controller and any new devices that have been added and make sure they are properly terminated."

I checked - looks good. After getting out of the repair/restore stuff (no i didnt repair or restore) I got back into the bios and reset all of the drive stuff back to the way it was, F10'd and TAA DAA! running. Tried it a second time and had the same results.

I have read all of the threads pertaining to this type of issue, No I didnt install the "F6flp64.exe" prior to having windows installed.

I am lost and havent found a similar thread...

Thanks for any help in advance!
