I can not remember off hand its been a few systems ago when i set up raid on the VW. But your going to need to press CRTL + I i think during boot up. That will get you into the raid menu where you can make the array. after that you can just install.

I might be forgetting something its been so long since i did it on the VW

Enable the Launch CSM in Bios, Ctrl+I to see the array.
In bios, set drives to raid 0 and 120 strip size.
Worked for me, but i did not have to go into the Ctrl-I menu.

You don't need Launch CSM enabled to run RAID. I run 2 320GB 7200rpm drives in RAID 0 on my G75VW just fine with it disabled; but you do have to enter RAID setup with Ctrl+I if the drives have never been set to an array before.

Enter RAID setup using Ctrl+I when prompted, set the array name, array size, strip size and hit create array. Then you'll be able to install windows as normal.

Well, i had to, if i disable the launch CSM option i get halfway trough the Windows animation and it freezes up.

Oh, word of caution. The factory BIOS file at the root of the primary hard drive used for the Ctrl+Home BIOS recovery will not work while the drives are set to a RAID array. My suggestion is to have any old hard drive handy with the BIOS file at the root of the drive handy should you ever need to do an emergency recovery using Ctrl+Home.

I keep the untouched 1TB 5400rpm drive that came with my G75VW-BBK5 just for such ocassions. It's already saved me twice from almost bricking my laptop into oblivion.

Have a look at the YouTube videos, they will explain the setup. As ZeroBarrier cautioned, make a backup of the original drive. I used Raid 0 for a couple of months but couldn't get the Trim to work right.

As long as you install the latest intel drivers trim should set its self up with no fuss.

Your probably right, I don't think I was using the right intel drivers.
