Need to know if possible to install Windows 8 and running HDD on AHCI RAID (master) mode and what settings need to do when i go in bios?
Last hard was WD green 2 TB SATA III and i cant install windows 7 on it!
MODERATOR EDIT: Removed double post and moved to Intel section as the question relates to this platform.

what was the error message you got using the WD green drives? I never heard of somebody having problems with hard drives in installing an OS... have you tried using a different sata cable?

first was: Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. I Install it from USB
After installing windows from my SSD hard on WD HDD windows start but next massage was - cant boot from hdd insert system this and press enter!
Atm if i try to run windows on WD hard drive i need to power on and SSD hard. I make from BIOS all options for Master and slave. Interesting is this that when i ty to run windows 7 with AHCI mode pc jsut non stop rebooting. Im sure that cables are OK and ports are ok too.

Hmmm.. can you boot the system with only the boot drive attached? Don't attach other drives yet. Heard a similar problem in another forum wherein the guy needs to manually press F8 every boot to select the proper boot drive

System boot proper only from SSD. When i plug in WD HDD and unplug SSD i got massage: cant boot from hdd insert system disk and press enter. Only way to start windows from WD hard disk is to plug SSD :(
