RAID 0 configuration problem

[dylan_m]

I have a little problem..

I have an Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard, and two Samsung Spinpoint 500GB HDDs. Yesterday I set up RAID 0 on the two drives, and eventually got everything working like installing Windows on it. Except for one problem, in the BIOS under the menu to select the boot priorities, my RAID array is not shown. When my drives were configured as "single disks" everything was fine, they would both show up under the menu. But now that they are in RAID, nothing shows up and the only way I can boot onto the array is to press F8 during startup and manually select a device to boot from.

What's going on here? Why does it show up only when I choose a custom drive to boot from and not in the BIOS? Please help me out here - I don't want to have to press F8 every single time I boot..


Thanks

Never mind guys, I figured it out. Since my BIOS only lists 4 devices in the menu, I had to start up my computer with my external hard drive unplugged, then it detected my raid setup

How do I delete a thread?

No need to delete, I'm sure it might help someone :)

Yeah :)

I also later managed to, after fiddling around with some settings, have it set up so that I can boot with the external HDD attached..
