Hey everyone,
I got a bit of an issue. Recently added a couple of SSD's to my home rig for some added speed and space. I'm currently rocking an ASUS Crosshair 5 Formula motherboard with 6 Corsair Force 3 GT's in a RAID 0 config on the onboard AMD RAID chipset. Because of this setup I had to buy a controller card for my two 1TB WD Caviar's in the system so I can have storage for my games and other files. The card I purchased is the StarTech PEXESAT3221 PCI-E 1x 2 port SATA 3 card. The problem I have run into is that with the drives connected to my controller card the ASUS BIOS will not initialize or detect the RAID 0 on the AMD chipset. I'm wondering if there is a way to force the BIOS to load and detect the RAID configured so I can boot to my Windows installation and use my system. Any advice would be useful.
