    Hi, I have right now in my NP9262, 2 500 gb HDDs in RAID 1, whose volume is cloned from a 100 gb HDD. Both, according to the intel storage manager, are bootable, but I can't get my system to boot from the RAID 1 array.

    In the BIOS boot priority, it only lists the 100 gb hard drive. I dont see the 500 gb drives anywhere there, but they register everywhere else like on the startup intel storage manager utility, in the BIOS on the main screen, and it shows up as a second hard drive in "my computer" when my computer has booted from the 100 gb drive. The 500 gb drive is labeled "E" while the 100 gb one is labeled "C"

    Thanks for help!

    I'm not entirely clear on what was done. When you say that the volume of the RAID 1 array of 2x500GB drives was "cloned" from the original 100GB drive, do you mean that you used something like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image Home to make a cloned copy of the entire installation on the original 100GB drive onto the RAID 1 array? Did you then remove the old 100GB drive as well?

    its okay now, it's resolved. A word of advice to anyone doing hard drive stuff on the 9262- put the drive you want to boot from in the first drive slot or else you get problems
