jacquesssss Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hello guys. I have luckly installed OsX Lion on my pc. But still i have some tweaks to do My PC specs are MoBo - Asus p8z68v - pro Cpu - i5 2500k <3 Ram - 8 MB vegenance @ 1600 Gpu - gfx 570 msi tf III (vendor id - 1086) HDD - 2*WD 650MB in RAID 0 for Win 7 -2 -*wd 160 for lion My problem is, when i set RAID in Bios for my win7 system, Lion dont boot. So every time i need to turn of RAID and set on AHCI for OsX Boot. It's weird because I was thinking that when I set raid in bios Non-raid disk should be in ahci mode. I can't install new lion because disk utility don't see my wd 160 disk but i dont know why. So maybe someone of you know the way to have RAID for win 7 and boot LION w/o changing bios setup every time i wanna boot to diffrent system. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm67 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Use Marvell ports to make a Raid for Windows and keep Intel ports in AHCI mode, OS X won't see Intel ports in RAID mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondy72 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sorry to revive this topic. I'm trying to install iAtkos L2 10.7.2 on an Intel machine. I have two disk joined in a Intel BIOS RAID 0. There are 4 primary partitions, first is System reserved, Second is Windows 7 disk system, Third is also a NTFS primary partition, and last partition is HFS+ formated using gparted utility. I have problems using this RAID volume for installing iAtkos, because in Disk Uility I saw in the left panel only the DVD containing iAtkos installation disk. I mention that in boot screen I can see all NTFS drives + DVD drive. The installation disk is OK, I used for a Virtual Box installation which is working very well, but now I need to build a dualboot machine. Any help is appreciate! Thank you.
