Loading RAID card on boot

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand the inconvenience in not being able to boot into the independent BIOS type setup screen for your RAID controller, when the system is started.

The system may require the boot option to be configured, this is the reason the system is directly booting into Windows. I would suggest you to check this link by your system manufacturer ‘Dell’ on ‘How
to Configure Raid on a Dell Desktop PC’ and see if it helps.

As the issue is related to the RAID controller, if the issue persists, it would be more appropriate to be posted in IT Pro
‘TechNet’ forums, where we have support professionals who are well
equipped with this knowledge.

Hope it helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes or No’.

Can I use a RAID 1 drive array as my Windows boot drive?

I am not going to use hardware RAID. I want to use Windows Storage Spaces to create the RAID 1 array from two identical hard drives.

Do I install Windows on the first hard drive then create the RAID array using Storage Spaces?

When I create the RAID array will Windows automatically mirror the Windows installation including the boot partition to the second drive so the RAID array is bootable?

Are their any steps unique to this setup that I must follow when installing Windows or creating the RAID array so that the RAID array will be bootable?
