Apparently there was a time that i upgraded to windows 8 and I forgot the reason but I had to reformat the whole system due to the reason that I cannot boot to windows 8 and always saying that the media cannot be found. I searched in the internet and said that I should switch SATA to AHCI. I did this and my laptop worked fine. The problem is I want to set it back to RAID.
1. I installed IRTS using Intel's site so I believe that I have the latest Firmwares but the Accelerate button is not visible.
2. Switched back BIOS SATA configuration to RAID during safe mode then I was able to run my laptop perfectly fine but still, Accelerate button is not visible in IRTS.
3. Whenever I boot up, the part where it says to press ctrl+I to enter RAID BIOS does not show anymore. i tried pressing ctrl+i to no avail. the laptop boots up to the alienware text logo immediately.
4. Does boot options in BIOS have anything to do with it? If yes, what should be the optimal settings? I remembered when my laptop crashed that I did change some settings here and I cannot remember the original settings.
