Enabling RAID in BIOS causing system blue screen – XPS 8700

I bought a brand new XPS 8700. It comes with one 1TB HDD. I bought an identical 1TB HDD and hoping to create RAID1 for data protection.

  • The computer came with Windows 8. I rebuilt it with Windows 7 Enterprises prior to any customizations.
  • Applied all OS patches and installed all drivers including Intel Chipset and Rapid Storage Technology.
  • Opened the chassis and installed the new 1TB HDD on SATA1. (moved DVD to SATA2)
  • Booted the system and Windows recognized the new HDD. No issue here.
  • Rebooted the system to BOIS and changed SATA Mode from ACHI to RAID.
  • System crashes to blue screen during Windows OS loading. In the next boot Windows asked system repair. I did and still failed to boot.

I also tried reverting from RAID mode to ACHI in BIOS. Windows booted fine. Where am I missing?  Note, I don’t mind wiping out the entire HDD and do a fresh install because I don’t have any personal data on it yet. If there was a “known working” process, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
