Sorry, I have done this procedure but nothing happen !!
No tab named "Intel Rapid Storage" !
What is wrong ?
Moreover i observe that "quit without registering settings" is ignored and come back again to the same menu.
is it normal to quit i have to power off ?

Fernando,
I have completely power off th PC.
Sorry, not able to join IRS tab !!!
i have set Option ROM messages to Keep Current (it was not the default value)
About Setting Interrupt 19 ??
Any suggestion ?

Fernando,
i used the Intel RST(e) EFI RAID "Satadriver" FFS module V 12.7.0.1936 (31/05/2013) (.ffs found on your site).
i have used your guideline to insert the new module in official asus bios 2003 with orom 11.0.0.1339
i have checked the extracted module of the bios modded , version near "SATA" pattern is well 12 7 0 1936
To be sure what you call the "right Arrow key" is it the "Upper Arrow" key located on the right side of the keyboard , just Under the "enter" key ? or is it in the additional pad, on the right, with a group of 4 keys (left, up, down, right) ?
In Advanced BIOS section i see absolutely no tab "Applications" !!

Fernando,
YES, i understand the confusion about the key.
I used the wrong key, in the wrong menu !
The 'good' key is the 'right arrow' NAVIGATION key on the most right of the keyboard.
On other thing is I was confusing about what is exactly "Advanced MODE"..
In fact the concept of ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility - "Advanced MODE" covers at least 9 different tabs, (Main, Ai Tweaker, etc..), one of them has the confusing name "Advanced". Go into 'advanced' bios is not limited to the "Advanced" tab menu.

So now, i have discovered that i can use the NAVIGATION keys 'right' and 'left' to select various tabs in the "UEFI BIOS Utility - Advanced MODE".

Among the tabs the most right on the immediate screen is "TOOLS", and then when navigate with 'right key' i well discovered 3 hidden tabs:
2 are associate to the 2 LAN components and one other to the 'Intel Rapid Stor' and so i can create the RAID configuration ...

The 'Intel (R) RST 12.7.0.1936 SATA Driver' indication is well displayed.

Nota: Nowhere in the 2 ASUS User Guide (E7163, E7667) delivered with the mboard package these multiple 'hidden' tabs are documented ..

Thanks again for your help to progress

Fernando,
Stopped again !
UEFI W7 boot USB key not detected..
1)UEFI RAID 0 seems well built:


Is this OK to have Volume "NORMAL" ?
2)This is the USB 3.0 UEFI W764 bootable produced with RUFUS:

3)This UEFI W764 USB is not detected, why ?

4)This my current boot screen:

The 2 menus you have "Boot Option" and " Window Boot manager" are not on my screen .. Why ? Any idea ?
5)These are the current parameters i have:



6)The error message is:



So, can you help me again ?

Fernando,

After setting CSM to ENABLED with UEFI favor before LEGACY no boot device detected...

So, I decided to do more tests when plugged in the USB key in some others USB ports available of the PC and found some of them (2) where UEFI boot key is well detected..
Then when selecting the UEFI USB key , Windows is loading files ...
BUT, quickly Windows Boot Manager stopped to a ' Windows fails to start' screen !!
with Info: An unexpected error has occured,
Status: 0xC000000d

So, no real progress...

If i remove the add in graphic card (eVGA) , that you mean that if i want UEFI i have to use permanently the iGPU or is iGPU to be used only for Windows UEFI RAID installation phase ? and then switch iGPU usage to this expensive, performant and very recent 670 GTX FTW ?

nota 1: on what 'folder' can you save [F5] the screen snapshot as W7 is not alive but in installation phase ?
nota 2: i succeed to upload on your site when using Mozilla V 22 browser, with IE 10 loading does not work... without any error message.

Fernando,
I have done this test:
Setting CSM=DISABLED, quit+register, power off > 1mn.
plug in USB UEFI W7 64 boot key in a standard USB 2.0 port next to the Mouse/keyboard ports,
Boot , [F8] offers this UEFI device boot, select it.
W7 is loading files ..
and then got the "an unexpected error, status 0x000000d"

i feel this kind of error is a problem of hardware compatibility somewhere..

Do you think if replacing the current UEFI bios SATA DRIVER module with the new one (if available ?) V 12.7.1.1000 should resolve the issue ?

At the moment have not yet tested without add in graphic card...

Do you suggest to "Rufus" again a UEFI W7 64 from scratch on another USB key ?

Fernando,
Have done test with CSM ENABLED (and eVGA card in place)
The OS installation get the same '.. unexpected error and status'
The USB OS W7 64 UEFI key is well detected..
When W7 installation starts, twice "loading files" bar appears (black and grey), and then Windows Boot Manager stops the installation procedure with the error staus and invite to contact the PC manufacturer..
Edit: I atached zipped .bmp files because each .bmp catched via [F12] are very large files >2Mo (more than when catched by camera and 'Lightresized' about 0.2 Mo). When uploading > 2Mo the site gives no error/warning .. As reported Mozilla works fine to upload, with IE10 uploading never starts.
