Raid 0 not working

[bendaggs]

Hi, I just bought two new wd black both 1tb and I put them into my computer for a raid 0. I already have an ssd for my boot drive. After I set up the raid and I go to boot into Windows it tells me inaccessible boot drive I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for your help.

make sure your ssd is set as the boot drive. When you installed the OS, was the ssd the only drive connected?

Hi, Try enabling RAID on the SSD (the Win 8 method here http://www.overclock.net/t/1227636/how-to-change-sata-modes-after-windows-installation )

So when i configured the raid it popped up in my bios as the second bootable drive so i disabled it. yes it was the only drive.

But I only want the 2 hdd's in raid 0.

The RAID has to be enabled on the bootable drive.

I've been setting raid to all of them into the BIOS

I guess that you're not near the computer, right?

I tried them and everytime i set it to raid mode and i try to boot to windows it crashes and the error code says inaccessible boot device

Then try reconfiguring the RAID array, SSD connected this time (set it as non-RAID), save restart and install Windows on the SSD.

It's not a fresh install i've had windows installed on the ssd and the ssd is always been plugged in.

Can you reinstall, or not wanting to?

I reinstalled the intel rapid storage but it for some reason i have multiple drivers including a marvel driver.
