Hi All,
Well the background is that i have a Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-81Q1 and i decided to increase the memroy by adding a 1TB SSD to thr existing 256GB drive. The result is that the 'Intel Rapid Storage' has taken over, A software i didn't even know was installed on my computer!!. So what i have now is my 256GB drive is as normal but this has been combined via RAID with the 1TB drive which is now a recovery drive. In explorer i can only see the 256GB drive. It has been suggested i take the added 1TB drive out and format
it externally but i don't really want to be taking my paltop apart again
that for me will be the last resort.
I have been on the 'Intel Chat Forum' and they came up with the following
Our instructions are:
- Turn on the computer. When prompted during system startup, press Ctrl + I to enter the option ROM user interface.
- Reset all the drives to "Non-Raid"
- Then you will need to reinstall the Operating System (OS) as factory settings
- This will delete any structure and OS files.
Note: If you cannot access the ROM with the Ctrl + I combination, you also need to check with the OEM for the correct way to access this option; or if the RAID is managed within the BIOS.
Can someone help me?
My dream for Christmas is to get rid of Intel Rapsid Storage and be able to see and use both my drives in Expolrer.
Thanks
Steve
