RAID 5 of 4*1TB HDD on MSI X58 Pro running Windows 10 on SSD.

Hi everyone.
I am trying to configure a RAID5 array on an old machine. Mobo is MSI X58 Pro, Windows 10 Home Premium booting off a Samsung SSD attached to SATA 1 port. Windows 10 runs flawlessly. When I configure the SATA controller to RAID, I can create the RAID 5 array with my 4 HDD, but then the system does not boot. It is looking for a RAID SSD and does not find it.
I recall having a RAID 5 array of similar configuration on this machine, although this was with HDD boot drive, and Windows 7.

Any clue ?

Try removing the single OS drive off the same controller as the RAID array? Not sure..

It worked !! that was actually pretty smart. Indeed there is a second SATA controller on the MB.
