First of all id like to say hello everyone, im new to this forum
i hope that you guys can help out with a complex problem im having right now. Sorry if i type too much but i want to be as detailed as i can.
My Setup:
Mobo - X58A-UD3R
HDD - WD Caviar black 640gb , caviar black 1.5tb
SSD- Corsair F80 80gb SSD
CPU - i7 950
RAM - G.Skill 6gb 1600mhz
GPU - Saphire 6870
CD - ASUS DVD writer
PSU - Corsair 750HX
And a fan controller for all my many fans for cooling the PC
All the SATA devices are connected to the intel ICH10R controller, and my entire system is about Half a year old.
The Problem:
When i start the system and try to enter the RAID configuration i press ctr + alt + I and tells me this exact message "Option ROM will not be loaded" and then continues to load the windows installation DVD.
This has never happened before as i had RAID 0 setup with 2x 640gb WD Caviar blacks, one of them got busted and i sent them in for RMA and they returned me a 1.5tb instead which i doubt is causing the problem because i have tried different physical combination's of the SATA cables like connecting just the two mechanical drives without the SSD then just the SSD and 640gb...etc. Every time i get this message. I cleared the CMOS and that didn't seem to help either so im not sure what's going on i just keep getting this bad luck of running into problems. I want to basically use the two HDD's to setup a RAID 0 and use the SSD just as an OS drive, i know having the bigger HDD is not an issue as it will drop its capacity to match the lowest HDD for the RAID and i know people who have it setup like that on gigabyte boards.
Not sure if the board is faulty or something im doing is wrong, oh and i made sure that RAID(XHD) is enabled in BIOS as well
