I want to add a 2nd sata hard drive to my precision T3500 running Win 7
64-bit - in a non raid configuration. It currently has 1 hard drive (sata 0) and dvd (sata 2), but I've hit a bump. Even though I ordered the "non-raid" configuration from Dell, the "sata operation" section of the system bios (A08) has the "Raid on" option set, even though there is currently only 1 hard drive. There are two other options avialable: "raid autodetect / ahci" and "raid autodetect / ata". None of the documentation I've found gives any detail about the bios settings for raid/non-raid, and I'm lost for what would be the proper setting for a non-raid setup. I'm assuming that it's not: "Raid on" where it's currently set. Also, I get a warning that changing these bios settings may make the system unable to boot and would need to reinstall the OS. Does anyone know what bios setting(s) would be correct for a non-raid operation, and how likely it is that changing this setting would cause me to have to reinstall windows?
