Dell Inspiron 15r 7520 RAID problem
Hello Guys. I have a Dell 15r 7520 which have a built in 32 gb ssd which until now I was using as acceleration drive with Intel rapid storage technology. Due to problems in AMD drivers my system is crashing and I was trying to fix it using different methods. Accidentally I went to Raid setup with ctrl + I and removed the raid drive which was disabled and created a mirror on 32 gb ssd. Now my 512 gb ssd with windows is not showing and it gives an error that no boot device found. When I start a windows setup it only shows 32 gb ssd and not showing. My 512 gb ssd. I can't get into raid setup with ctrl +I. Need help.

You would have to go into your BIOS and change your SATA from RAID to AHCI once you do this that should let your Hard Drive Replacement SSD show up as an Installable volume.
If you want to keep in in RAID Mode you'll have to download the IRST flp driver and when you install gets to the point where you need to select a volume to install to. Click the link that says something like I have a driver. Then point that to where you have the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29647/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Driver-Installation-Software-with-Intel-Optane-Memory is for the latest windows, 10 RST driver. Select the f6flpy-x64.zip
The driver will load and then your SSD will show up as an installable Volume.

You had it going why did you change it back to RAID, You have to go one way or the other. If you have a SSD you really have no need for the 32gb msata cache drive., it was only there to help your slow hard drive. And is slower than your SSD. Use it for anything else or pull it out. Trying to go back to the original set up is possible but would actually slow down your notebook. You'll have to start another thread on how to set up the cache drive with the SSD is another issue. I have seen a thread or two on this subject but I don't remember or have any reason to. Current SSD's have made this set up obsolete.

Thanks for the help bro. By changing SATA from IRST to AHCI my 512 gb ssd was showing in windows setup. Now I have a forest copy of windows installed. Now when I go further and try to install RST from the link you provided it doesn't work. And when I change SATA from AHCI to IRST in BIOS. Windows don't load up.
