Q:
How do I install a third SATA drive in my Creation Station Pro or Rack? There appears to only be an option for RAID.
 
A:
That is correct. What you need to do is set up the drive to function as a single RAID drive. Here's how:

1. Go into the BIOS by continually pressing the Delete key on startup. The BIOS will be a text-based blue and gray screen.
2. Using the arrow keys, move to Advanced, then Onboard Device Configuration and press Enter.
3. Scroll to Onboard Promise Controller and press Enter. hange it to Enabled. Ensure that the operating mode listed is RAID.
4. Press Esc once, scroll to Exit, and choose Save changes and Exit.
5. On reboot, press Ctrl + F when prompted to enter the RAID setup utility.
6. Choose option 3 to define a new array.
7. Highlight Array 1 and press Enter.
8. Under the drive assignment section, set the drive you want in the array.
9. Press Ctrl + Y to save.
10. Press Y to Create and Quick-Initialze.
11. Exit by pressing Esc twice, then Y to reboot. Your drive will now show up and function properly in Windows.
