    I used one screen in my bootup to create my RAID 0. and then changed settings in the BIOS to support it,

    First Screen = Create the RAID

    BIOS = change entire system to RAID so that it works.

    im not sure if the screen i speak of is techniquely in the BIOS or not, but yes i created my RAID config during the computer bootup.

    My mobo is a ASUS P5Q Pro i belive, i have attempted to use its driver disc that came with it in the past, but it does not support the newer windows 7 (even if it was bought in august last year). and likewise i belive it is something in my BIOS setup. i also notice like that ATAPI thing you said was normal , that my 6 SATA ports appear on the BIOS (Only in IDE mode, not in RAID) and it displays whats attached,


    like i said

    IDE Mode (not what i want) = my bluray in detail appearing on screen (working install)

    RAID ( what i want) = ATAPI CD not in detail (not working Install.)

    but now

    IDE = all 6 SATA ports in detail displayed in BIOS

    RAID = No sata ports displayed on bios main screen.

    (Another note, when i boot the computer up it says no drives are detected (im assuming it means my dvd drive) , right after the bios is booted up.
    If your BIOS cannot turn on RAID then you will not be able to setup RAID.

    Do you have a camera to take a picture of your BIOS screen? A picture is worth a thousand words.

    I will attempt to take photos in a moment , but my BIOS can turn on RAID because ive used RAID on the very computer im talking about in the past , and all 3 times i religiously try to reinstall windows , ive had this problem , it worked in the past i dont see why now.. , and the screen i spoke about earlier, i just checked, its actually the INTEL (R) Matrix Storage Device Screen , im assuming this is some sort of onboard BIOS utility sponsored by INTEL , (My processor/motherboard socket). , And correcting my earlier post, its the ASUS P5Q PRO TURBO motherboard, im sure theres only a few small diffrences between that one and the normal pro model.

    Here are some screen shots:

    As you can see there is only ONE hard drive so I cannot turn on RAID. If you see both of your drives then you should be able to turn on RAID.

    Once you have both drives seen by your BIOS and RAID is turned on. Then you will need to download the Intel RAID drivers and have them on a USB stick or Floppy Drive for Windows 7 to use in the install.

    This sounds good. After the RAID is created then you will need to boot the Windows 7 DVD and to an F6 install. From a USB Flash Drive or Floppy disk you will need to have the RAID drivers for Windows 7 ready for the install. You can download them here:

    Yes that sounds right. Look at my screen shots, I hope that is like your BIOS. As you can see I only have ONE hard drive so I cannot change IDE to RAID. Once you have 2 or more drives seen in the BIOS you can turn on RAID.

    Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager, is what ive been using to create my RAID 0 , and then i would go into the BIOS and edit settings to support my new RAID 0.
