Hi all,
I recently finished a build that featured the EX58-UD5 motherboard. I am attempting to install Windows 7 to a RAID 5. I have all the HDD's plugged into the ICH10R ports and I followed the instructions on building the RAID 5. Within the RAID BIOS, it reads as Normal, but not bootable. In a completely expected turn of events, Windows 7 tells me it cannot install into the RAID 5 because it cannot boot from there and suggests I turn on the controller. I am using 4 HE753j's. I tried to create a RAID 10 using the same drives and it is listed as bootable and perfectly fine. Is there a setting that I missed in the BIOS or is a RAID 5 not capable of being a boot drive?
