hi can anyone please help me instal a 250g intel 510 ssd into my m17x r3, my current config is 2x750g hdd in raid0,

iv tried every combination of methods to get my intel ssd to be my boot drive and have one of the 750 gb hdd's to be my data disk or (secondary hard drive)

iv tried about 10-15 times installing fresh copy of win 7 and every time i tried id have something go wrong from my bios recognize my secondary hdd as 486gb as opposed to its full capacity of 750, to having install win 7 successfully but then so some reason seeing that i only had like 197gb free on my ssd (and i know win 7 doesn't take that much space!!!), i even tried installing win 7 with my intel rapid storage driver from a usb stick you know right before actually installing win 7 when it asks you if you want to load any drivers?,..... nothing!!!,

is there anyway of getting a clean WORKING win 7 on my ssd and having a secondary hdd,  iv been digging my brain out trying to fix this i found a forum on notebookreviews.com which had a detailsed method of doing this but even after following that i couldnt get it running the way i need, also a note* iv done the whole putting the ssd in port 1 which everyone recommends as this port is the one which allows sata III to reach 6gb/s transfer rate which i want but nothing, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong and if possible and not to much to ask can give me a step by step set of instructions in how to complete this (keeping in mind im pretty clueless )apparently....

 

thank you in advance to everyone i really appreciate you taking the time to read this post
