    OK, try turning RST off and set the Sata controller to AHCI, save and exit. See if you boot. You should.

    No problem, you just had me worried that I had messed you up. It shouldn't though. When you make the changes in BIOS, if it won't boot, you should be able to go back an re enable everything is what I'm counting on.

    Okay, I am posting pics of the setup, so you can see what I have, and guide me, because I am not so good at this BIOS stuff.....

    If I change to AHCI, I get this warning - okay to do, yes?
    I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall the OS.......LOL

    Well, how lucky do you feel? LOL. Say yes and hope for the best. In many circumstances, that is true. But, I believe in yours it is not true. But, that's what the images are for, just in case. I would say yes.

    HA! Well, listen, I only disabled the IRST and then booted, installed Macrium, and now I am attempting to make an image of the entire HDD. If I can somehow, by the grace of God, get that completed, then I will make a recovery ISO, and THEN I will feel much luckier - lucky enough to switch to AHCI and take my chances.......ok?

    So, I will be a little while...if you need to call it quits for the night, that's ok by me.

    that's fine. I will be around a little longer, but in all honesty, I believe it will work. If you were in a true raid where all data is split across both hard drives, then I am sure it would fail, but you are not. The SSD is only used for a cache, to store the data used most often to speed the hard drive up. There is no splitting of the data, and you still have IRST installed which has the Raid drivers but also has AHCI Drivers. So, I don't see any reason it wouldn't boot. Does that sound logical to you?
