My bios/motherboard has been playing up for the past 24 hours. i have had it not post, and all sorts of things. basically deleted my RAID in my bios and when disabled RAID in the bios. after that i wiped the drives in a different PC as windows was not installed on my SSD. i installed windows onto my ssd and it works fine. i then plugged in my two 1tb drives and my bios says there not in RAID but in windows it showing two drives one of them being my SSD and the other being 1.8tb (witch is my two harddrives).

so to sum it up windows is saying my drives are in RAID even know RAID is disabled in my BIOS and the drives have been wiped

My solution in this case would be "nuke it with Gparted". That solved a lot of my issues with drives acting strange

ill try both of them now

so i tried with each drive and even with only one of the drives being plugged in at a time both the drives said they were 1.8TB

Hmm. DBAN just nukes them but I don't know if it formats them as usable again..

Try to reformat them as another file system and see if that works (ntfs to fat32 for example)

dban has fixed the drive problem. they now show in windows disk management as 2 separate drive that are 1tb.

i think the problems with my motherboard or my BIOS. one minuet my bios says the drives are in RAID and the next it says there not. and one minuet it says im running BIOS F6 and the next is says im running f7 and it keeps doing it
