Hi, I built a new computer with the 9800x3d and a Gigabyte X870 Eagle wifi7. It has windows 11 installed

After getting into the computer I installed gigabyte control panel and out of all the added installed programs it wanted to add I missed RAID install. So after I missed it and installed I never worried about it until my computer had a windows 11 update where after the update, it caused my computer to blue screen with the inaccessible boot device. Raid is installed on a samsung 970 EVO

Going into bios the boot sequence has a new drive called X with RAID in it which is the primary boot device it is trying to boot off of. Not sure how RAID works but it seems to have copied windows 11 boot on it as well as having it on the drive where I originally installed windows on. Which is causing it to say inaccessible boot device.

I tried to see if I could not stick the USB where I had windows on to try and clear it and do a fresh install but it acts like no drivers are found even tho in the drop down menu they are there and when I click on the drives I'm unable to reinstall windows on it it just won't let me.

I have also tried removing my m.2 and putting in a fresh new one and do a fresh install with windows with no luck and the same X drive when trying to reinstall windows pops up and the m.2 that I did install does not show up. I'm assuming RAID changes parts of the motherboard to operate on it.

Any advice on how to get past the blue screen and get back into my computer then how to Uninstall RAID would be very helpful, thank you and merry Christmas.

Forgot to mention it sorry, when I installed it which got put on my c drive which was the Samsung 970 evo 1tb and I had a d drive which is the Samsung tb 990 pro.

I never changed anything in the bios after I installed it, never knew what it did it might have changed some things itself, not sure...

If you know where, would I be able to disable it in the bios. Thank you.

And pg 35 in your (english) user manual
 
Thank you so much it fixed my problem XD, and when I uninstall RAID from my computer would I need to do anything else besides uninstalling it through add/remove programs in windows.

Wherever you see reference to it, undo it.

Unknown, but this may involve a fresh OS install. And if so, do this install with only ONE drive physically connected.
