So I am tired of fooling around with this and would prefer just to pay an expert. I can offer $50 via cash app or PayPal for the solution. My unit mtm is 82RG001NUS.
I have already been through the cbs/pbs options and enabled nvme raid but now I need to access the raid utility to set up my disks. I have two 2TB Hynix p41 plats that I want in raid 0.
I have a ch340 and clip to flash. Do I need to remove the chip or can I flash in circuit?
I am looking for a bios with all options enabled., amd OC if possible and the ability to enter the raid utility at boot usually ctrl+r.
Let me know if this is is possible and what you need from me.
Thanks
Making edits to a BIOS file is the simplest, but I have no certain guidance how to use ch341. I think you can try without desoldering the chip and see if it works. All I need is a dump.
Inside your BIOS there’s Intel(R) RST menu. It has many options to manage RAID volumes. I can give access to it from any corner of the Setup Utility including boot manager, but I can’t make it to open from a hot key.
Maybe he’s mixing up an OROM RAID utility (which normally opens using a hotkey) and RAID configuration in an EFI environment which mostly/always (?) is done within the boards EFI bios itself?
Maybe.
Don’t know if it does matter if it’d be possible to create RAID the EFI way. If it is even possible with such BIOS after all.
@penguinslovebananas Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Your Lenovo laptop has a modern AMD chipset. According to the UBU tool the latest specific Lenovo BIOS dated 04/19/2023 contains everything, which is needed to create a bootable AMD RAID0 Array consisting of 2 NVMe SSDs. So no BIOS modding will be required.
Good luck!
