Intel Smart Response Technology Issues (Z68)

Boot Issues

Just recieved most parts for my i5 2500k / Gigabyte Z68 UD5 system, and doing initial setup. Using 1TB SATA3 WDC HDD / 64GB SATA3 Crucial SSD. Updated BIOS, got OS up and running including IRST. Everything was functioning until I reset. After that, Windows would not load no matter what I tried...the only success had been reinstalling OS. I even tried installing OS in IDE mode, then using Gigabyte's recent "EZ Smart Response software" which conveniently configured RAID and installed the most recent version of IRST. Again, it worked fine...until I reset. Anyone else having this issue?
