Yeah I was a little impatient when I figured out just how big of a blunder I had made by trying to remove the RAID 0 setup and thereby deleting everything.  I have already downloaded the file and burned it as a bootable DVD with the tool you gave me, so I'll have that as a backup.  I really appreciate all your help.

Anytime, Ryan.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.

Paul,

 

I got my USB recovery flash drive in the mail today.  This post details what happens when I try to boot to the USB.  Any ideas?

I've gotten no responses yet.  Been in a couple chats with HP so far, they just had me do the short and long hard drive check and they both passed.  Not sure how to remove the write protection.  I shouldn't have waited for this recovery USB.  I would just install the W8 that you gave me, but I paid $50 for this USB that isn't even working...

And I got it working.  I had to have the SSHD and the 24GB acceleration cache out of a RAID setup for the recovery to not give me that error.  I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure if I can re-setup a RAID0 configuration of those two after I have installed the OS?

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, I don't know how to set up a RAID configuration of any kind because I have never needed to do so.

 

I suggest you read that article I posted which while not for the same model as yours, it should work exactly the same.
