Yesterday I spent way too much time trying to get Windows to install as I want it on a RAID 0 stripe set to TWO identical Samsung 970 1 TB NVME drives. System specs:
Asrock X570 Taichi
3900X
2x Samsung 970 1TB NVME drives - Installed in M2 slots 1 and 2
16GB DDR 3600
RX550 GPU in PCIEX Slot 1.
I first started with the original BIOS. I quickly updated to BIOS P1.80 which is the latest official BIOS. This changed many of the screens but here are my settings:
NVME RAID Enabled
AHCI set to RAID
UEFI Boot Storage Op ROM selected
Single arrays deleted and one RAID 0 array created. Can clearly see the array in the BIOS under RAIDXpert2 with no issues.
HOWEVER, I can never see the array as a possible boot device in the BIOS. I can start the Win10 install, I can install all 3 drivers necessary, and I can see the array but Win10 will not let me install to it (because of UEFI issues).
I have followed the material by Asrock to the T and no go. I have been able to install Win10 if I turn LegacyROM on, but then the box will never pick up the array on reboot to boot from. I cannot seem to use ctrl R to access the Legacy BIOS during boot if Legacy mode is operational. I don't get any RAID info at all.
To add to this, with a reset BIOS settings, if I turn off the CSM, the machine will no longer boot and the LED display shows me 0d which doesn't reference anything in the list of codes.
Has anyone gotten this to work? This shouldn't be complicated and I'm not stupid so this is pissing me off! I have scoured the BIOS looking for ANY setting that might solve my problem but I simply cannot find it.
Also, the habit of these companies to produce manuals that have sections that are completely blank except for a picture of the BIOS screen is absolute BS. How do we let them get away with this shieeet?
Thanks!
