http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m5I0O-nuF4&feature=yout...

I am not able to install OS with Raid one with 2 SSD drives 120GB each and UEFI Motherboard

=======================
Motherboard:
ASUS M5A97 Evo - AM3+ - 970 - SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 - ATX AMD ATX DDR3 2133 Motherboards
========================

No matter what i do nothing works

Please guys can someone advise or help

Thanks

Obviously we are not able to see what's on the screen with the video taken at an angle and a distance.

We see nothing but problems here with RAID. What benefit did you hope to get from RAID1?

I would unplug the other HD to Clean Install Windows 7 to a single HD to avoid problems.

Hello The plan is to have 2 SSD in Raid 1 Mirror so if one SSD drive then i have second one but this plan is not working as my motherboard is UEFI and it is pain in my back when ever it comes to install OS.

Here is screenshots :

Hello please note this is a UEFI motherboard ASUS M5A97 Evo

My issue is

1- i am not install OS no matter what i do

Thanks

No, if you lose one HD in a RAID1 then you lose everything. There is no redundancy. There is also no appreciable performance benefit vs. installing on one SSD without RAID.

So I would disconnect the RAID, set your SATA controller to AHCI, install to one HD with the other unplugged. If it prompts for driver then you have a bad installer. Start over with a new ISO burned to DVD with the tool from Steps 1 and 2 of Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

For UEFI follow these special steps: UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums

Hello not arguing with your vast knowledge of computers and technlogy but Raid 0 is different Raid 1 which is mirror

Understanding RAID level-1

RAID level-1 uses data mirroring. Two physical drives are combined into an array, and data is striped across the array. The first half of a stripe is the original data; the second half of a stripe is a mirror (that is, a copy) of the data, but it is written to the other drive in the RAID level-1 array.
RAID level-1 provides data redundancy and high levels of performance, but the storage capacity is diminished. Because the data is mirrored, the capacity of the logical drive when assigned RAID level-1 is 50% of the array capacity.
RAID level-1 requires two physical drives.

However you actually suggested something really double at my level of technical skills so i am confident i will be able to do these task on my own so let me try what you have suggested and get back to you with results



BTW: today i was able to install The OS with Raid 1 but then i was doing Fail test and Raid was not rebuilding so i deleted the raid 1 and then re created it and then i tried to install OS when i got this issue and since then i am stuck



Thank you very very much

Every report we've gotten here is of RAID failure, never a single success. (Still waiting.)

Let us know how it goes. You can't go wrong with an SSD following these same steps to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

Hi Thanks will Do and report back Thanks

Hello gregrocker

You rock my issue resolved i worked on it since 8 am till now and i was able to get Raid 1 with 2 SSD and install OS

You helped big time

Thanks

Glad to hear it worked for you!

Please let us know how the RAID works out, particularly if you can compare it to a single SSD performance.
