Setting Raid 0 as Boot Device

[Tektek2113]

Thanks for your help in advanced! 

 

Intermediate to advanced knowledge with computers,  but I am quite stumped. Hopefully one of you can help. 

 

I have 2 identical SSD's set up in Raid 0 through my Asus mobo. Raid array seems fine,  according to what I can see. "Status=normal" Both drives are blank,  as I am trying to set up a new windows installation.  The SSD's are brand new,  every other component is throughly "well-loved". 

 

My mobo shows the array as 'bootable',  yet is not listed as a device that can be set as a boot drive.  I have unplugged every other hard drive,  leaving nothing but the two drives in the array and a cd drive,  and still nothing.  I have tried everything I can think of,  to no avail.  I have attached pictures of: the status page of the array,  my selectable boot devices,  and my primary page,  so you can see my sata devices.  

 

Thank you so much for your help,  and let me know if there is any more information you are looking for. I suspect the answer will be something like "you dummy,  you have to disable this abstract setting!".   I apologize for any language problems,  English is not my first.  

 

Build:

Mobo: Asus z97a 

CPU: i7-4790k

If it's showing both drives independently and not as one new drive then it is not setup in a RAID0 configuration

Probably

Idk

 

Also, that last picture has details on how to delete raid setups, I would try that and then remake it

Problem solved. Completely reset the mobo (unplugged, pull cmos battery), and rebuilt the raid. Now I just can't set it as a DEFAULT boot option, but I can manually select it every time I restart. New problem, but I will start a new thread. Thanks for help!
