Windows install help

It's telling you what's wrong. You formatted the drive as with the MBR partition table, when you should've used the GUID partition table (GPT) as that is what it wants. You have to reformat your RAID disks with the GUID partition table.

Have you tried formatting it?

When your in the Windows Install press Shift+F10 (may be ctrl+F10) to bring up a command prompt, type in the following;

Diskpart

List disk

select disk # (whatever the SSD array is)

clean

 

close the command window and refresh the page and you should be able to installl now.

Thanks so much! I knew it had to do with how it was formatted, but I wasn't sure how to format from withen windows installed, disk part didn't even occur to me.
