I've been dealing with this for hours. I've looked all across the internet and I have yet to fix my issue.
I also have another topic on another site with info too: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/390070-trying-install-windows-7-2x-samsung-850-evos-raid-array.html

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.
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 a new problem-------
Also after setting up the Bios and my RAID array- When I go back to Bios to start/save it before installing OS it loads windows/starts to install but I get LOAD DRIVER error etc and I'm stuck at that point. It doesn't recognize the drivers in the boot cd so I'm stuck there currently.
