I have windows 8 pro installed on my 2 TB HDD but I got a 256 gb sdd and I want to use it as caching. I saw some tutorial online and they all tell to switch to raid in the bios ( I am right now in ahci)but when I do it I get a blue screen.

note: my mobo is z77x-ud5h

thanks for your time!

not an expert on this but my first thought would have been to install win8 on the ssd and use the 2tb for data storage ,so i googled a bit and read one site that the people replying to the similar question as yours seem to agree with what i thought would be the way i would do it if i had a ssd drive .
good luck

I have tried the change to raid with the registry trick but I could not find the files:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor

So I decided to reinstall on the ssd but I only have the product key so I normally just donwload the iso from microsoft. But i can't find it. I need win 8 pro but I only saw win enterprise
