Hi everyone,
I have a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion dv7 - 2030ev laptop with an F.12 BIOS, dated 23/3/2009. Since the laptop had two HDD bays I decided to add a second 750 Gb disc to complement the existing 250 GB one. After I bought the disc I discovered that my laptop was not set to RAID 0 and there is no RAID setting in this BIOS (too late).
I am a fisrt year electronic engineering student but as for BIOSes I am a complete noob. I have seen in other threads that some of you have faced this exact situation before but with more modern computers.
I do not have enough money for professional help, plus it would be very educating and interesting to do it by myself, so, unless there is already a modded version, I would like to ask if there is someone here willing to show some basic stuff on how to do this so that I don't end up with a bricked computer.
I thank you all in advance!
