Hi All!

1. I need some serious help here. I have run Intel SRT with success for quite a while now but the ***** just hit the fan.
During normal operation (gaming) my system hang to the point where I had to do a manual restart. It was the game that crashed
since I was still able to move my mouse around but was not able to get into task manager or alt-tab my way anywhere.

2. I'm running a WD black 1 TB accelerated with Intel SRT with an m4 SSD 64GB. I set this up a while ago using registry hacks
and it worked like a charm. But now...after the manual restart things seem to be corrupted. I wasn't able to boot into windows
anymore and did everything to try and fix it (windows startup repair, CMD commands, rebuilding MBR etc.) Eventually I was able to fix it by going in
the RAID OPROM bios and disable acceleration and resetting the disks to NON-RAID.

3. Being back inside windows I have re-installed all the raid drivers, intel rapid storage utility etc. I have also updated my bios to the latest
(Asus P8Z68-V @ 3603). The problem is that I want to re-enable Intel SRT since it significantly sped up my system. But I can only boot successfully
when SATA mode is set to AHCI. When I set my bios to RAID I get the following message: "A disk read error has occured, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart".
My KB is also unresponsive at this point so I hit the restart button, set my bios back to AHCI and all is peachy again.

I've spent countless hours researching this and haven't found a solution yet! So to RECAP:

* Intel SRT worked flawlessly until manual reboot corrupted something in the RAID.
* Disabling acceleration in RAID OPROM and resetting to NON-RAID brought me back into Windows 7 X64
* AHCI mode is the only mode that gives me a successful boot, RAID mode gives: "A disk read error has occured, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart".
* BIOS, Windows, RAID drivers are all up-to-date.
* RAID enabled through Registry hacks (has been operational for over a year).

system specs:
MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V
HDD1 port 1: WD Black 1TB
SSD 1 port 2: Crucial M4 64GB
Optical drive port 3: DISABLED
eSata port 4: DISABLED
HDD 2 port 5: WD 250GB
HDD 3 port 6: WD Black 640GB
additional specs are in my sig below.

I'm at a loss here and preferably don't want to re-install my entire system. I don't think it'll do anything but I'm running a full CHKDSK now. If there's anyone that could help me I would be eternally grateful!

Jeffrey.

/fixed.

install EVERYTHING, reboot, set your sata mode to RAID, boot up Win 7 from Recovery CD...and once again:
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Just to be sure I also added the RAID drivers again from recovery menu under "Load Drivers".

cheers
