Windows not installing on RAID 0?
Ok so I got a Hp 8570w “workbook”. And yes it is deff a workbook, 8g of ram, replaced the cd drive w a 1tb SSD (internal is also a 1tb SSD, same brand) and she’s a beast. Also 256.... or 512 msata is which is “kinda” irrelevant.
So, I go into bios, set it as raid. Make the two drives, one. Ok. Boot up my windows install USB and it recognizes the 1.8g and change “software RAID” and I hit go. Stuck at 0% copying. Uhh?
Weird thing, I install Linux, zero issues w the raid config. None at all. So, what the bleep? Why is windows so finicky even though the bios is set at RAID for my two SSD’s?
I unplugged the extra SSD, set to AHCI, uefi (with and without CSM didn’t matter) and it installed Windows fine. So now I’m using a live Linux, DD’ing /dev/sdb (Windows drive) to /dev/sdd (msata). I’m assuming, hoping, once it copies, I can just DD yet again from the msata to the raid via Linux live...
Any ideas? Suggestions? I seen some ppl w comparable laptops have better luck making a “garbage” partition from the raid of 1g and zero issues w install. So, what the math?! I’d rather not waste a gig just to make it all work but, what are my options here?? So dumb, and I’m not new to raid at all. Shoot, my PS4 has 4 3tb drives on raid 10 using an esata to SATA cable w standard hard drives. Like, what?
If it were up to my patience or risk, I’d dismantle my PS4 array, pop in the two SSD’s and install Windows. If it works. Then bop the drives back into the laptop. But, I run the risk of, pc not being happy, or rebuilding the array - or worse, on my PS4 to get it back up again. So, ???
