RAID 1 Gigabyte SATA Cannot find the array during Windows 7 install

Thank you very much, I shall try these now, also yes the legacy is on as I am booting my Windows from a USB :) thank you! :)

hello, i have just plugged both the drives into the purple slots (the G,SATA ports) and now it comes up:

"NO Araray Defined...

Press CTRL+F to enter FastBuild Utility"

I press this and now only number 4 - "Controller Config" is working, I cannot press 2 - Define LD to set up the array :s
So now the HDD's are not RAIDed, shall I skip past this and still try the install by pressing F6 during the Windows setup?

ok I shall change the USB format froM NTFS to FAT32, it is on a seperate USB btw

So should I not worry about the Array at this point

oh, there are no options it simply states the model build and another number, no more options other than Esc - taking you back to 1,2,3,4, and then when you press 1,2,3 nothing happens;
I have seen many people with this problem before on forums but cannot follow up with any more info

On pg. 78 of the manaul - did you choose RAID SATA type?

In the BIOS, yes, it kept the same settings as before and I checked, if not the BIOS where should I be looking for this option :) thank you

okay i apologise, I have now set up the array witht eh CTRL+G option through Gigabyte, I am so stupid for not seeing this before... Though as they say dont count your chickens before they hatch, thank you for your help in advance though... I shall update this thread when I have an update, cheers

I just tried this, it hasnt made any difference
