Title: Z87X-OC Force mother board Bios
Post by: carsonbm on March 15, 2014, 03:47:53 am: I just finished my first computer build and I have one problem I cannot figured out how to solve, first I install 2 SSD in Raid one for the operating system and everything work fine. I then install a IDE hard drive, I then get a message in the Bios that I need another drive to put it in Raid. I don't want raid, I just want one storage drive and I cannot figure out how change the bios with out my computer not wanting to boot to windows. I hope this make sense. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks

There are small adapters you can put on IDE drives that turn them into sata drives.
