    Hey all,

    Just had a few issues with my M18 so decided to reimage it, thus apparently causing more issues.

    Did a clean install of an SSD, came up fine, went and put one of the orignal 750GB HDDs in and it keeps auto installing it in the device manager as M18X_RAID0, then proceeding to show it as a raided 1.5TB drive in disk management.. just wondering how in gods name to stop it doing that

    Also bios is set to AHCI

    Cheers in advance..
