GA-X58A-UDR3R rev 2.0 Bios FG, Ahci swich to Raid BSOD
« on: November 08, 2011, 07:21:03 pm »
Hi All

From what I can read in forum, Raid should be the same as AHCI, exept for the possibility to add more disk drives and run raid.

I have boot disk on intel port 0, cd rom on marvel controller, and 2 x 1 tb seagate on intel port3 and 4.

and just want to run Partition copy from boot disk to raid disk.

But when I change Bios fra AHCI to RAID, no boot, only blue screen and reboot.

I cant figure out what is wrong

Help wanted

regards Bjarne

Hi

From what you say your problem is that you are changing the BIOS mode. Set the Intel ICH10R controller to RAID and configure your RAID array as you boot up. Then install Windows and everything should work as it is. Don't change  the controller mode again.

You can when it is set to RAID mode.
