RAID is not an option/not available/​missing in BIOS Storage Options?? HP Envy 700-047c

Hello - I have an HP Envy 700-047c. It came with a 2 TB HD. I put in another 2 TB HD same model/type. The system in the BIOS and Windows 8 sees the new drive. However, when I boot and go into F10 BIOS/HP Setup utility, go to Storage menu, select Storage Options, my only option is SATA Emulation and the only 2 select options it shows are AHCI and IDE. This is where I should see RAID option - it is not there.
I tried changing SATA ports on the motherboard - no help.
I tried disabling Secure Boot and UEFI and chose Legacy - no help.
I updated to latest BIOS for this PC - no help.
I installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and can see the 2 drives within Windows but there is no create option on the Status page like there should be (because you need to enable RAID in the BIOS which the option is missing).
I looked on the motherboard and don't see any jumpers that are labeled RAID (ie. some physical trip).
I called Intel and they confirmed the Intel chipset I have is RAID capable but to contact HP to see if they turned off. I contacted HP and twice they said they are not trained in RAID and do not support it. I contacted the local Microcenter tech support and they found a link on this website talking about how to go to the area I'm in - but the RAID option is not there.
Does anyone know how to get RAID enabled on this HP 700-047c in the BIOS/Setup utility? Help!

UPDATE BY ORIGINAL POSTER TO BELOW - The below is not accurate about RAID being disabled on "All" HP home line computers per research from Big_Dave (Thanks!) - It is what I was told by the HP Escalation Team Friday however - not just my MB but all - which we are seeing is not correct per the customizable Envy model in the following post. It may just be certain models or just my current model's MB...?? I struck thru some of the detail, but leaving it mostly intact so others can see the misinformation I was given.
Thanks for passing along. Below is what I found out about how RAID is disabled by HP now.
I also had an email going back and forth with HP support and they sent to HP Escalation team who I ended up talking with yesterday who researched it for a day and found out that HP has disabled RAID on the motherboard for all of their home PC line! As we were thinking above. Only servers can do RAID now is the word.  Hard to believe they'd do that. The rep said he believed it had to do with people calling HP when they lost data due to setting up using RAID 0 and thinking that protected them (all it does is make a big disk, no redundancy like RAID 1). 
To me that is no reason to turn off a feature of the Intel chipset. They also don't make this clear to any HP employee as no one I've talked to (3 now along with chat and email) knew that HP is crippling the capabilities of the MB and chipset. I even have a several year old HP Pavilion that has RAID enabled on it under my desk and has saved me twice from disk failure (running RAID 1 mirroring). 
I'm pretty disappointed with HP decision to do this and that it's poorly recorded (in fact not recorded at all)  it so that I wasted hours upon days trying to figure it out with tech support people. If HP wants to remove a much needed service such as RAID it should be mandatory for them to disclaim that right in the Specfications sheet. RAID IS DISABLED AND CANNOT BE TURNED ON ON ANY HP HOME CONSUMER COMPUTER.
Note: I even called AMI (American Megatrend, Inc.) with HP on the line who said they sold the MB to HP fully capable of RAID which is what led the escalation rep to research to whomever he talked to and found out HP is disabling it out the door to their unaware consumers.
I also asked if HP tech team disabled it, would they be willing to send me a BIOS flash to re-enable it - ie. make that an option for those who are knowledgeable about RAID and can setup. The response was they probably won't. I pressed a little but didn't get anywhere - seems like a reasonable request to me/option to keep people happy.
Luckily I'm within my return window and will be taking this computer back. Sad considering how much time I've put into it thinking I had a computer capable to do what I need.
Anyway - please help spread the word so HP can get this into their knowledge DB and boards that RAID is GONE - removed purposefully by HP.

  • Aperture library not available as desktop or screensaver option

    Aperture library is not available as desktop or screensaver option. Nor is it available in Fotomagico. Any ideas?

    Go into "System Preferences" -> "Desktop & Screensaver" -> "Desktop"
    Scroll down the list on the left.  The top categories should be the Apple default desktop images that came with Snow Leopard.  Below that you should see iPhoto and it's events, albums, etc.  Below that you should see Aperture with your projects listed below that.
    Do you at least see the projects listed or does Aperture not even appear?  Or is the problem that you aren't able to select any of the images from a project?
    If the latter I'm wondering if you're missing previews.  You might go into "Aperture" -> "Preferences..." and pick the "Previews" category.  Make sure the check boxes are selected for "New projects automatically generate previews" and "Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" (if your camera shoots in RAW+JPEG mode then it'll use the JPEGs from the camera as the preview instead of building it's own.)
    You can force it to update previews but note that since it normally wants to generate previews automatically the 'Update Preview(s)' isn't a global function... it only rebuilds the previews for images you have selected (which means you have to go into each project, select all images, and do a "Photos" -> "Update Previews"
    Beyond this, you'd probably need to run Aperture first-aid to determine if there is some corruption in the Aperture library preventing it from being used.

  • WLAN override option not available for WLC 4402 - 6.0.196.

    Hi All,
    Its kind of weird BUT it seems that the option for WLAN override is missing.u.
    I could find it on the lower version BUT not on the 6.0.196.
    Please help.
    Does this mean I could only set it up via the WCS and not the WLC directly.
    Thank you.

  • Preview on [device name] option not available

    Preview on [device name] option not available on Folio Overlays

    In v20 its available in the Folio Builder panel (iPad only, I think). You have to plug to your Mac to the iPad with the USB cable and starting the Adobe Content Viewer app on the iPad first. Otherwise check iTunes on your Mac if your iPad is listed under "Devices".
    Are you using InDesign CS5.5 or InDesign CS6?
    You have to be up to date with the Overlay Creator panel to v20 as well. Check for that.
    Recently I had no chance with InDesign CS5 and the v20 tools installed on a Mac with OSX 10.5.8.

    Also the receive connectors are not visible from EMC, it's just blank under receive connectors, but mails are received without any problems.
    Does someone know a way to resolve this?

    That worked!
    I created a new account and placed it into the Exchange Organization Administrators role, now I'm able to see all the options normally.
    I also re-added the original account to the EOA role but I still don't see the options there. When I go to Organization Configuration I also get the following error message:
    You do not have permissions to read the security descriptors on CN=servername,CN=Server......DC=domainname, DC=local. It was running command 'get-ExchangeAdministrator'
    So it must be a permissions issue. The strange thing is that under Exchange Administrators I can see my account and it has the role Exchange Organization Administrators.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.

    Most of the content editing of a PDF is to be done for minor changes with the Text Edit tool or for other changes by exporting object to either PhotoShop or Illustrator.

    The manual option is available only if you don't have a sound track in your slideshow. If you have a sound track, remove it and the manual option will not be greyed out anymore.

    Has this worked before? With other resources?
    Are these new resources or ones that have been around a while?
    Are both accessed from the same client or from different ones?
    Are there regular scheduled GWChecks run on this system? Analyze/fix for
    Structure and another for Contents?

  • GRC AC10 RAR :"Ignore Critical Roles/Profile" option not available in

    Hello Gurus,
    I have configured RAR and the reports are working as usual , but i observed that i could not see two things
    1) Option to select "IGNORE CRITICAL ROLES/PROFILE" during Role/User ANALYSIS under "Reports & Analytic" tab.
    I checked in SPRO>GRC>AC-->Maintain Config Settings
    There is a parameter "Ignore Critical  Roles/ Profiles" which i first set to "Yes" and then checked in NWBC , i was unable to see the option under "Additional Option".
    Later i changed SPRO setting to "NO" , then again it did not show me .
    Where can i find this option , so that if i upload say 10 roles which are assigned to firefighter ID they should not be analyzed for RAR ??
    2) I also could not find any option to upload "DEFAULT roles" which need to be assigned to any "NEW USER" request coming through CUP ??
    Where can we make this setting, so that the basic roles can get assigned to the user when any new user request comes in.
    Will you please put some light on this area ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Victor

    Hi Johanna
    Have you run the synchronization job subsequent to the configuration of critical roles / profiles ? If not so try running the Synchronization job and then try risk analysis.
