Re: Z68 Extreme4: can I add RAID 10 to existing IDE system?
Go into the registry using regedit and change each of the "start" values in the registry keys below from 3 to 0 and this will allow you to change between the different modes by just changing the option in your bios each time you reboot.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\pciide
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\msahci
The last to lines you may only see 1. Which ever you see set to 0 or if you see both set both to 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\iaStorV
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\iaStor
Can you take a screen shot of the Storage configuration screen for me. I was trying to read the manual online but it is a little confusing, but you should be able to set Intel sata3 to raid while keeping marvel sata3 set to ahci. Then set boot sequence to the drive on marvel sata3 port.
Another thing you can have 5 drive connected to the intel port set to raid and the raid array only consist of 4 drives and boot form the stand alone drive. Even thought the controller is set to raid the stand alone drive will act as it is in ahci mode. At least this is how it worked on X58 and it should still carry over. You will have to do the regedit for this to work, dont think you would have to do a clean install.
If your not sure how to take a screen shot from with in the bios/uefi it should be the F12 key.
