Hello,

I have a common issue, I tried all and not idea what's next... also, I read several post and tried everything, failed.

I formatted the hard drive and installed a clean Windows 10 installation, the disk (1TB) was not detected.

I connected the 1TB HDD to another PC, formatted and tested in other PC, the hard drive was detected, no problem with it, I returned to my Predator, and yes... the problem is exactly the same.

I tried with latest version of Intel Rapid Storage everything, no success.

I downgraded driver version of IRS to run RAID_Tool, when I executed delete.bat "DEVICE_STATE_INVALID: Request is not supported with the current device state" appears, so, I changed all parametters through IRS Graphic Interface, no other result.

What I shoud to do? I'm very dissapointed.

    Hi @ sxlk

    I appreciate all your efforts in troubleshooting this issue.

    I know it is not logical but  some reason, the system does not allow only one Windows System hard drive and a RAID  w/ two data disks. You can do a workaround but it should work fine. You may mirror both the system and data hard drive.

    The only way to make it work is to  combine the two hard disk, select RAID in BIOS, do a quick CTRL+I, and create a volume with the two drives. This would wip out Windows and the data on both drives. Have to reinstall Windows on this volume. Once done, IRST woulde be visible in the volume. 

    Then go back into IRST (without needing to reboot or deal with BIOS and CTRL+I) and create another volume with the two hard drives - this time it would actually ask whether you want to keep the data on one of the drives. This would have come in handy if you have not reformatted both of the hard disk with data while trying to set up raid previously. This  would have saved a lot of time if you have not deleted everything on those two drives.

    Thank you, then, Is there no way to undo this? about CTRL+I I tried it in BIOS, no result, where I must press these keys?
