Can't use my SSD drive as cache

[idata]

Hi there,

I bought a new Lenovo u410 and installed windows 8 pro on it.

I have an HDD 750gb primary drive and a 32GB SSD which I want to use him as a cache drive.

My BIOS configuration is set on RAID, I can see the SSD drive in the Intel Rapid Storage GUI in windows,

But the accelerate button is not thereץ

What can I do??

Thanks,

Yoav

But i need my second hdd partition....

Is there any other option??

I would boot with a Linux CD or DVD to toggle the second NTFS partition from 7 (NTFS) to 83 (Linux), reboot and check whether the acceleration is working then or not. After the test you can re-toggle it back to 7. That's the way I did it.

I've run into a similar problem.

Try this:

Make sure you don't have any data that you want on your SSD cause it's going to get wiped.

hit windows-key+R

type in DISKPART

(or just open CMD and type DISKPART at command line)

Type LIST DISK

Look at the output and select your SSD like so (if it's disk 1)

SELECT DISK 1

Then type:

CLEAR

and

EXIT

Restart the ISRT manager and you should now hopefully see the accelerate tab.

It worked!!!

It's clean and not clear, but you're great...

Thanks
