Asus M5a99X + RAID + Windows 7 = Fail

[MotionBlur]

Anyone else running 2 Corsair Force 3 SSDs in RAID 0 and having trouble installing Windows 7 x64 SP1?

Tried:
-Created RAID 0 in Option Rom (don't know how to use the UEFI Driver option)
-Booted off of my blu-ray writer
-Get 22% done and then it hangs (still can move the mouse and the ... still goes), let it sit over night

Then tried:
-Booted off my Xbox 360 HD DVD External USB drive
-Finished installing pretty quickly, rebooted normally when done installing and it just hangs at a blinking underscore
-Checked the "bios", it shows a Windows Boot Manager in there now

Any suggestions?

try the data storage sub forum, they might be able to help you better.

Did you update the SSD firmware on both?

did you try plugging your BR drive into another SATA port, other controller ?
