Cant install windows on samsung 970 pro

[Huehuel]

Hello! So i bought a new rig im currently having an Asus rog formula xí.

My problem started when i was trying to install windows from usb. In boot meny bios i dont find the ssd.
I cant install windows on since it dont find the windows i get a black screen with a status error.

i dont know if i have to fix some settings, i just bought a new 860 just to test if there was something wrong with my setup. The 860 could install windows just fine but i dont find that drive either in the boot menu.
i really wanna use the 970 pro but somehow my mobo wont let me,, one time i got to windows install menu and couldnt find a patrition to install windows on. What can i do for my system to find this 970 pro, i tryed both the m2.1 and m2.2 ports, none of them can find my hd, is there a primairy one i should choose? Any tips is more than welcomed.

Here you can see that the mobo can detect the ssd:s but in the boot meny there is none. i could however install windows on the 860 evo. Im sure there is some bios settings that has to be done. Im terrible at computing, With all my heart i will thank the one that is gonna fix this,

The mainboard has been set to use RAID which has taken over the 970 as a RAID device. To confirm, go to the bios/advanced /PCH Storage configuration. One item says SATA Controller 1 Mode selection. That is set to RAID and should be set to AHCI. But you must use a command prompt to do that. The other way is to reinstall windows . Here are the steps to change that setting to AHCI

Click the Start Button and choose Command Prompt--administrator

Type this command and press ENTER: bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal (ALT: bcdedit /set safeboot minimal)
Restart the computer and enter BIOS Setup
Change the SATA Operation mode to AHCI
Save changes and exit Setup and Windows will automatically boot to Safe Mode.
Right-click the Windows Start Menu once more. Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
Type this command and press ENTER: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot (ALT: bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot)
Reboot once more and Windows will automatically start with AHCI drivers enabled.

You provided the evidence--the picture showing the drive enumerated in the RAID section of UEFI.

Try reinstalling

Steps to install windows

D/L the latest install files from MS to an install device

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

Then disconnect or disable all hdd /ssd drives but the one where you will install windows.

Insert the USB media tool, with the windows install files, into the board. Next go to the board setup and ensure the board is configured to use UEFI boot settings. CSM should be enabled. Select UEFI for boot device control and Legacy for the other options. Also ensure the SATA mode is AHCI.

On the motherboard boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the device. For example, select UEFI: USB Drive, (Windows Boot Manager will also work), and list that device in the first boot slot on the board.
Reboot. Install begins.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom. On new disks, the drive will show a single area of unallocated space. (If there are partitions, select each one and then "delete").

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, partitions the drive using the GPT and begins the installation.
