RAID 0 Help

XIIGravity

Hello i am trying to setup RAID 0 with two 1TB hard drives, i have gone into the BIOS and change it to the RAID config and set which SATA connections are to be in the RAID 0 config. However when it boots and prompts the RAID utility thing as it should and set it up to stripe across the two hard drives it just keeps booting over and over again bring me to that RAID utility. And windows keeps trying to repair itself i can correct the issue by disabling the RAID 0 config but that doesn't realy solve anything.  So the TLDR is why does it keep booting to the RAID utility. Thank you for any help :)

When you set up an array for RAID 0 and general any RAID array keep in mind that the data in the disks will be deleted. also the drives must be identical.

when you altered the bios setting to RAID, and rebooted, did the system load the array utility ? if so what options did you see ? did you save the options before exiting the utility ?

You need to reinstall Windows, if you've changed the drive setup to RAID0.

 

RAID0 works by striping all data across both drives. If the OS was already installed on one of the drives, it will no longer function properly if switched into RAID0 mode.

Always, and I mean Always, first set up your drives in a configuration you want them, and then install your stuff on the array, not backwards ;)
