Stuck in RAID

Go to solution Solved by Depthcharger,

I know its been awhile but I wanted to close this post. My guess is probably the Drives died or a buggy BIOS (even though it was updated).
I have a new PC now and no longer using IRST (nor will i ever will) Thanks for your help!

Hi

I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H(Windows 7). What happend was i have set up Intel Rapid storage technology long time ago! IT was running fine for a long time until today there was an error when i was virus scanning(what i do every month) i wake up to see a BSOD and intel rapid storage technology was the culprit. i uninstalled it. but i cannot get my bios to set to AHCI mode again if i did the windows loading screen would crash so if it were set on RAID it works fine. I looked at boot options my HDD was not detected nor the SSD(which i use only for the intel rapid storage technology) Only things it was detecting was the optical drive and some sata driver which seems to be on of my HDD but not really i dunno why. If i load up in raid i have no problem loading in to everything. but its just that i am not running on raid at all and it has a slow boot. I have removed all raid volumes uninstalled storage drivers and reinstalled them. reset CMOS and took out the battery and even unplugging and re plugging the sata cables but still it would not let go of RAID so im stuck with it instead of AHCI which now i want. I think my SSD died because in windows its not detecting only my HDD drives. computer runs fine so far... just i dont like it stuck on raid when there is none thats setup. i even uninstalled Intel rapid storage technology and got the  latest drivers for everything in my motherboard. i think because its my SSD that died but i dont understand why it the bios would not detect the other HDD drives. Windows it showing it but bios is not. Please help me fix this problem and thanks!

did that many times and even removed the cmos battery to do so

You can't go from RAID to AHCI.

Vice versa.

Well, at least it's not advised.

 

To properly go to achi you'll need to format Windows and start again.

It's not a race to the bottom.

well if that were true how come my other HDD drive which i only use for storage like videos and pictures cannot be detected by bios? I have never set up raid using that drive since its only 1tb where as my main C one is 2tb
