Title: Win 7 doesn't boot up, drives are a raid all of a sudden
Post by: Solarisweapon on April 21, 2016, 06:33:21 AM
Good morning everyone, am trying to describe my issue as good as possible, so please bear with me =)

Two days ago, I went into a game of League of Legends, on the swap to the loading screen I alt tabbed which then caused a bluescreen to happen.

It gave me the message: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and asked me to check if I have any new hard- or software with the technical information: ***STOP: 0x0000007A (0x0000000000000020, 0xFFFFFFFFC000009D, 0xFFFFF x0000000000000000) Physical memory dump FAILED with status 0xc0000001.

Over the course of the next 2 days, I've had a few bluescreens with the same message, ran CHKDSK, let it fix something and then had three following popups from Marvell Event Message:

[WARNING] Physical disk 2 is plugged out

[INFO] Physical disk 2 is plugged in

[WARNING] Physical disk 2 is plugged out

A restart solved the issue, windows wanted to do an update which is fine by me, however, when it tried to restart it couldn't boot the OS. A look into the BIOS gave me some insight on what happened: It can still find both my SSD and my HDD, however, all of a sudden they're in a raid. At first, I was able to select the RAID as a boot priority, but later on even that option vanished, leaving me with only the following three as boot options.

Removable Dev.

USB: TDK TF10 (My USB stick with the windows 7 ISO)

ATAPI CD-ROM

My question is the following: Is it the Raid that appeared all of a sudden? Can I somehow undo it? Are my drives damaged? Because they do show up when I start up my PC

I have uploaded the relevant images here http://picsurge.com/g/TNWC9C

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated, if you need any additional information feel free to drop me a message here!

Hi

The pictures really helped. First thing is to turn off raid in the storage configuration in the bios page Main It would normally be ACHI . Then set the SSD to be the first boot device. If it still blue screens the please post the error .
When you get it booting check the antivirus software is up to date and perhaps run a disk health check with HDtune pro. What you did shouldn't have caused the bios to change to raid mode. So am unsure what might have caused the problem.
