F6 pressing days are over. Those were back in XP days. Windows 7 and up coming Windows 8 you just click Load Drivers in the Window where it shows your hard drives ( ie disk 0- Partition 1or2 or disk 1-Partition 1 or 2 )

Is there any possibility that a guide could be prepared for those of use who are newbie's and are running a Crosshair V Formula AMD set-up. Althought some of the steps are close to the same, there does seem to be some significant differences.

Would be appreciated by myself and others here if possible.

Thanks,
Lon

Is it possible to run an SSD as a boot while my other drives (HHDs) are setup in RAID 10?? I was having some trouble getting Windows to install to the SDD so I forgave the RAID option and am running everything as single drives which works fine but isn't how I want it arranged.

Sure. Lots of people have a single SSD boot with RAID storage. If you're having problems with the configuration then start a new thread and provide your configuration so people can help you troubleshoot.

If you read the guide it does explain what a RAID is and does in the introduction.

But yes how you have described it well that is sort of what a RAID is, redundancy is the key term from a RAID.
