Win10 should recognize the array right from the start whereas win7 will need you to load the raid driver during the part where it asks if there are drivers you need to installĪlright, now you have windows loaded and can boot from it. Once you get the array setup, now you can boot from your install media and load windows to it. Also if there is anything on either of the drives that needs saving then please back them up first.

Next, you setup the drives in the raid bios (Ctrl+i during when prompted) You will need to add the drives to the array and then format the array, so plan on this taking some time. Often the last two ports are left as AHCI which is perfect for using for your optical or single HDD’s. Make sure the drives you want to have in the raid are on one of those. Please not that turning on raid usually turns it on for several sata ports. To have a bootable raid 0 you can’t use iRST.įirst you need to enable raid in the bios.
