How do you have the controller set if AHCI it will not work. You have have it set to Raid on everything for it to work. Plus the board is to old to really have drivers for 10. I could be wrong but you can't use the SSD as part as the Raid.
Have you look in disk management to see if the drives are there. If it isn't I would Set the controller to Raid and go in rebuild the Raid on the 2 HHD's and then install windows 10.
Thanks very much for your time and feedback I'm very grateful.
My aim is not to include the SSD within the RAID. I want the SSD as the Active c:drive with the OS (Windos 10 installed), and the 2 x 1.5TB drives to be a separate RAID1 mirror for my data as D:drive (for family photo's and such like to be backed up with redundancy in HDD's).
At the moment Windows 10 installed and running on the SSD as C:drive seen in disk management.
The 2 x 1.5TB are still configured as RAID from the original install and show up in pre- OS boot screens as 2 disks listed as RAID.
This RAID is not visible Post boot however in disk management.
I shall go now and look in Bios if controller is set as AHCI. I did previously try to set it to RAID in 2 places but I could never get the Ctrl+I to take me into the intel pre-boot disk configuration mode I read about?
Please let me know what you think.
If I dont want the boot device to be the RAID do I want to set RAID across the board?
Why do you think I cant get ctrl+I?
I should be very grateful for your further comments.
Many thanks for your time once again.
