So, I recently had a thread in the new build section where I got a lot of advice on what to get and what not to get. I ordered everything and got my parts and put the build together.
I got:
1x Mushkin 60GB SSD - for Windows7
2x Seagate 7200RPM 500GB HDD's - for everything else
I'm using a MSI Z77-GD65 motherboard, I have the Mushkin SSD in sata port 1 which is 6GB/S, and I have the two HDD's in sata parts 5 & 6 which are also 6GB/S.
I installed Windows 7 on the SSD and I love the speed, I absolutely love it. So then I went back to set up the raid config for the other two hard drives (which I've never done). I absolutely for the life of me can not figure out how to set up the raid in this BIOS. I went to the SATA Configuration screen and changed SATA Mode from AHCI to RAID, but then it just blue screened on start up.
Another thing that is odd is...when I go to HDD Boot Priority within BIOS it lists both HDD's and the SSD. But when I go to the System Status page it lists my sata port 1 ssd and sata port 3 card reader, and sata port 4 dvd drive, but it does not list the HDD's.
I read the entire owner's manual/guide and I'm absolutely clueless right now so go easy on me, any help would be appreciated.
