Intel SRT with Windows 8 already installed

Hardware Hub Storage

I've just fitted an ADATA XPG SX900 SSD into my system, alongside my Seagate Barracuda 1TB, hoping to run Intel SRT, however I'd rather not get a BSOD at first due to setting up RAID without Windows recognising the SSD.

The only posts that I can find are for Windows 7 (setting up Intel SRT without reinstalling Windows), so I'm just wondering if I still need to make registry changes in Windows 8, or if the process can just be done via changing the UEFI settings from AHCI to RAID now?

I have checked and Intel RST recognises the SSD even though Windows does not.

Thanks in advance for any help! :D

For anyone that's interested, I ended up running msconfig -> safe boot minimal, boot into BIOS and change SATA mode to RAID. I then booted into windows, checked that there is an intel storage controller and then ran msconfig -> safe boot off -> reboot

at first intel srt didn't work. I reinstalled it, rebooted and I now have acceleration with no need for a windows 8 reinstall!
