I'm not sure what I did, but on my asus z270-A motherboard that I have I was snooping around bios and it said to ez tune raid mode, I enabled it and then it said to select port I clicked cancel because it said it would wipe my drive, and now I cant see my SSD or my Hard drive in bootable device options. Wtf... so confused. I have fully functioning windows on my ssd alongside data on my hard drive I did a clean install 4 weeks ago, been using it for a while now. All of the sudden I click on one button and now I can't boot windows. Please help I'm honestly really worried I just f***** my pc.

Did you find a solution? I did the same thing....

Forget it, managed to fix it........after almost an hour....never fuck with raid

Had to go to bios then find the "PCH Storage Configuration" and then change SATA Mode Selection to AHCI ( the ez tuning raid mode basically changed AHCI to RAID, so doing this is changing it back to AHCI, how it was originally). Afterwards I restarted my pc and it still had a problem starting windows but gave me an option to diagnose (I don't remember if this just randomly appeared or I pressed "ctrl+I" on restart or if I went to bios and booted of my ssd and then it appeared), I followed the steps for finding a fix and diagnosing. It said it couldn't fix it and then it shut down my pc. I turned on my pc...

It said it couldn't fix it and then it shut down my pc. I turned on my pc again it it booted windows up perfectly. Went back to the ez tuning wizard to check if raid was still on and no it was set to off again.....never touching it ever again.
