Title: Z77X-D3H no RAID BIOS displayed
Post by: vaskos on September 14, 2014, 08:43:03 pm

I have RAID enabled in BIOS , but no CTRL+I request is displayed during system boot => windows is immediatelly loaded. I have restarted BIOS , tried to load last bios version (F18i), loaded defaults but still I can manage to display Intel OROM BIOS.

Have anybody seen such problem ?Can you help me how to enable intel raid menu during system boot ? Thanks for feedback...

Greetings,
I haven't looked at your boards documentation specifically, but...

-Enabling RAID in BIOS doesn't mean you will see a "press "ctrl+I to load the RAID Config Utility during POST
-May not prompt, load or display (even if you press the correct key combination) if you don't have at least two disks connected to the ports the RAID controller supports
-Timing is everything and sometimes missing the window will keep the RAID Config Utility from loading if you don't press the keys at the right time

So, do you have at least 2 drives connected to the interface supported by the controller?  You haven't stated this, so we don't know for sure.

Thanks

Assuming you have correctly loaded the RAID driver before installing Windows, I have found that with UEFI enabled in BIOS, the RAID screen doesn't show.

It's my fault, when i connect second disk , intel orom is displayed. I believed that one disk is sufficient for displaying orom. Thanks for feedback !!
