When I do this, the computer doesn't boot. I get weird characters on the screen.
Do I have to make a change in regedit or something?
I found something that says I need to do this:
1. Open RUN dialog box by pressing WIN+R keys together and then type msconfig (Windows 8 or later users can open RUN dialog box by right-clicking far left-bottom corner of desktop, then selecting Run option).
2. Click on Boot tab, enable Safe boot checkbox, apply the changes and restart your computer.
3. Upon restart, get into BIOS settings (by pressing DEL or F2 key most likely), change the hard disk mode to AHCI, might also have to change boot order SCSI, save settings on exit and reboot. Windows will now boot in safe mode.
4. Run msconfig again, go to Boot tab, unmark Safe boot option and restart PC.
That's it. Now your PC will work fine.

Ok, well, I tried that and it didn't work. If I change in the Bios to ACHI from RAID it won't boot. I get weird characters on my screen and it just hangs.
This link seems to say that you have to make changes in regedit, but I"m not sure I want to do that. Seems pretty weird.

I gave up on RAID years ago and now rely on frequent Reflect backups
I don't know if this will help at all, but when I had a Raid setup, I went into the Bios...it listed two Sata controllers. I clicked on 'advanced/peripheral config/secondary Sata conroller', then disabled it. I then took it out of the computer.
My experience is on Post #9 in this thread.
