For a RAID array to work it needs to contain an array of hard drives. One will not work.
Use AHCI mode its the best bet for your set up.
Thanks people.
BUT I realised the issue is more than setting up Raid. In fact on an older PC I somehow managed to set up RAID 1+0 on single hardrive (amd sk 939) and it worked with lead to my assumption.
The real issue is the Device Boot Led. Here is the scenario. Apologies if it is lengthy. It is a cut and paste of a saved specs of the problem.
My computer is brand new - but does not allow booting from dvd or
usb.
Bios updated fine- can enter bios without problems.
"Device Boot Led" is on permanently.
I have tried:
(1) One Ram only
(2) Different Harddisks (also one at a time)
(3) Change of cables
(4) Rolling back to an earlier version of compatible (with ivy
bridge) Bios
(5) updated again to latest version
(6) Checked all powersupply cables
(7) Utilised minimum default settings most of the time
(8) Used only bare system with cpu/hdd/ram
BUT problem persists. Have contacted Asus and they will reply in
only the fastest of after 48 hours. I believe they will suggest
RMA (upon viewing most similar problems)
What I cannot understand is ASUS may have such poor Quality
Control (assuming it is MB in problem)
My Specs:
CPU: i7 3770K
MB: Z77 Sabertooth
RAM: 8 GB (4 GB x 2) Corsair XMP 9-9-9-24 (1.5v) per asus
requirement ram
GPU: None atm but will get gtx560ti frozer
PSU: Coolermaster 850w (80 plus)
HDD: (2x) 1TB WD Green/Blue Cavaier
OS: Cannot install Windows 7 64
Case: CoolerMaster Storm Trooper
Cooling: Corsair H100
Am open to all possible suggestions to having this new rig begin
its voyage
