    I have an Elitebook 8770w, so I can have 2 hard disks in it. On each hard disk
    I have a Windows 8 and I can boot to any of these by choosing boot option from
    bios. (esc, then F9)

    I want and have intel rapid storage technology enabled for my main first hard disk
    and so the m-sata is used to cache that disk.

    But when I boot to the second disk I see that intel rapid storage technology is
    accelerating the other disk (my first hard disk!) If I disable acceleration it will disable
    it in my first hard disk on the other windows 8 too!

    So how can I make this only work with first hdd? My second hdd has already SSD
    cache feature and when I boot with that hdd is just for audio editing and want msata
    disabled.
