Hi Friends!!!

I am trying to build a computer with a SSD Sata unit and with 2 hard drives with Raid 1, this drives are Seagate Barracuda 3000Gb (3tb), on AMD Raid controller everything works fine, I can build the raid but when windows 7 boots it view the units like 2 separate Hard Disks, I put the last Bios on the mainboard, the last Raid drivers found on Gigabyte Website and it do not works. The bootable unit is the SSD and system is installed and booting without problems.

What I am making wrong? Please can you help me?

Thank you very much.

I'm not 100% (but this post was as yet unanswered). Is there a setting in the bios for uEFI? Without this windows won't support partitions larger than 2TB (or is that just for the boot drive). Perhaps divide your raid into two smaller partitions? Or maybe build the raid within windows using GPT instead of MBR?

Hi, I think i found the solution to my problems, First, Update the mainboard Bios to version (F10b), second, put Bios in EFI mode, and third I has downloaded Raid driver from AMD website no from Gigabyte Website, the URL is this one:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx

I has downloaded the second driver, in the middle  (29 Mb).

Now on disc administrator only appears a HDD with a partition of 2793,84Gb. after all this steps there appear 2 hard discs.

On all the process I has reboot my computer 3 times, and the solution appears after install AMD driver.

Thank you!!!
