What would cause a Win7 BSOD when changing BIOS from IDE to RAID mode?

I'm trying to setup a raid 1 array for my storage drives but I'm having BSOD problems. They system works fine until I enable "RAID" mode in the bios. After that windows can no longer boot.

System:

  • MOBO, MSI P55-GD80.
  • CPU, i7 860
  • HDDs, 1 SSD and 2x Magnetic (the magnetics are the ones I'm trying to RAID). The SSD houses the OS.

Loading fail-safe defaults and changing to RAID mode hasn't helped either. I've also downloaded and installed the MOBO's the latest BIOS (v1.5).

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this?
