Help. Running i3570k, asrock extreme4 z77, 32gb ram and probably a 680gtx..

Samsung evo 128gb ssd, 2x 2TB WD black RAID0 (OS raid), some other internal hdds.

At first i needed a usb stick to boot, after few months my pc was booting fine just with ssd alone.

I did put my pc to sleep most of the time, this friday i did shut it down. And it wont load clover 3333, name flashes for a second and it goes back to POST.

My ass is in grass, can't boot to OS rescure raid0 data, can't eject raid drives w/o spending time on fixing the problem either.

Will new hackintosh detect raid0?

How can i fix my boot issue?

Attach Clover folder from EFI removing themes ZIP attach. Note always keep Clover updated.

I am sorry, my english might be not that advanced. That is within bootable usb?
Can i do this procedure with an windows mashine?

Also, when booting from usb, i do get a freeze on welcome to clover screen with artifacts on the screen (pic).

update. If I do disconnect all but OS hard drives, POST goes well and I finally reach Clover. However once I go past clover, it stays black screen. OS issues?

Can i save my RAID0 by disconnecting drives and connecting them to MacBook using a double USB HDD dock?

Not sure what you mean by Can i do this procedure with an windows mashine. Recommend reinstalling to save time.
 
Update. For some unknown reason, OS booted. Only OS SSD was pluged in. I hotswaped (pluged in sata cables) both raid0 hdds and OS found the raid.

So i rebooted the system again with raid0 drives connected, clover crashes.

Should be issue of clover/bios if it has reseted.

I'm having the same exact problem, did you manage to fix this without formatting the RAID? (It's working perfect if plugged in after boot)

I experienced this too. The other's are right, it's because of your software RAID. You CAN save the info on your raid, just follow my guide here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...e-of-software-raid.176173/page-7#post-1290234

This is the thread that @BreBo posted, but this exact post sums up the thread. Special thanks to @benjackson for solving this.
