Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!
If you already have your OS installed and want to leave it as NON RAID, you will need to install Intel Matrix Storage manager >>>
Download Locations
You will then need to install the program and reboot, and then reboot again Back to the BIOS and Enable RAID in the Integrated Peripherals BIOS page for the Intel Controller.
Then save/apply/reboot and enter the Intel RAID ROM before windows starts. Press Control + I to get into it, you should see this on screen. Then go in and build your RAID array and save/apply. Be sure you do not pick your OS Drives to make the array with
Your Two other drives will remain NON Member disks and will be fine. The system should boot properly as you will now have the RAID Driver installed which you did not before which is why windows would not boot for you when you enabled RAID in the BIOS. If it does not, please check your Hard Disk Boot Priority after you make your array to be sure your OS disk is still at the top of the list
You may also be able to just install the above app, then use it (in Advanced Mode) to create your array from within windows without setting the BIOS to RAID yet, but I am not so sure about that.
