Trying to install Windows 7 on 2x Samsung 850 Evo's in Raid or Array.
I've been dealing with this for hours. I've looked all across the internet and I have yet to fix my issue.
SPECS/ISSUES
MSI GT80 Titan Laptop
Windows 7
I just bought/installed two Samsung SSD 850 Evo M.2s
I already have a 1TB HHD with all my stuff and OS on it (windows 7)-Not Samsung
Followed these instructions perfectly in Video directly from MSI

I have already Raid configured my two new SSD's into a Stripped Array and booted SATA etc
The system on boot does not install/try to install an OS. It acts like there should be an OS and fails the Windows screen load(freezes for a sec on the colors) then brings me to .5 sec blue screen that I cant even read its so fast, then it starts the "start windows normally screen/or restore previous version", neither of which work cuz it just fails over again etc. Also After I try and Start after I set it up it goes to "Checking Media Presence" then rolls me back to BIOS automatically..
Why can't/wont it let me install my OS. Yes I have the boot Disc in the cd drive also. It is the first OPTION on boot.
Any help leading to this will be appreciated. I'm beginning to think I'm ruining my computer restarting it so much trying to figure it out.
I've tinkered more, and decided to test out just a normal array of the SSD's to non-raid and when I boot it just ignores trying to install on the new SSDS and loads up the OS from my HDD. Even more frustrating. Apparantly when the two SSDS are Stripped and Together they are DYNAMIC and they can't have a OS installed onto them?! Now googling more issues ~~~Still clueless
Am I missing something small or is there a larger problem here?
