Hi,
I have an MSI Z790 Pro WIFI mobo. Windows 11 was installed on the SSD and a pair of Seagate HDD configured as RAID.
The SSD died. I am struggling to recreate the RAID setup.
I got off to a false start and don't seem to be able to go back. I was told to go into the BIOS setup screen and turn on VMD. When I do this the system doesn't show any disks and I cant install windows on the new SSD. MSI said I need to load the RAID drivers and sent me to a link for the Intel RST drivers. I cut a flash drive and proceeded to install the RST only to get an error trying to install the Optane driver from W11 (no error code).
Net net, 4 copies of windows 11 boot records and no windows 11 and no way I can see to completely reinitialize the SSD for a completely new clean attempt at this installation.
The data is important and not backed up recently (yeah I know DUMB!!!). But it's sitting on two perfectly fine hard drives I just can't get to.
Does anyone have any ideas where I go from here ?
Thanks in advance.
