Question Storage hdd's not detected after installing ssd raid 0 array?

[breakneckgenie]

I just set up my ryzen build, specs are as follows:

Ryzen 2600x
G. Skill Trident-z 3200mhz (2x8)
Asus ROG Strix X470-f Mobo
2 - Pioneer 240gb ssd's in Raid 0
1 - Western digital Caviar 640gb hdd
1 - Western digital Blue 1tb hdd (both hdd's 7500rpm)

I set up the ssd's in raid 0 and installed windows 10 to them, but now my storage drives arent showing up at all. They show up in bios, but not in windows. I've tried automatically updating all drivers through the use of the device manager to no avail. Any help?

Bad idea, for multiple reasons.

okay, i read the article. Although what i've done wasn't necessary, the damage is done. Any way to fix the other storage drives not showing up? I cannot seem to find anything on the matter.

Have you installed all chipset drivers provided with the mainboard, including the RAID related drivers?

My build doesn't have a optical drive, so I can't use the driver installation disc that came with the motherboard. I manually used the amd driver for their website for the raid driver because the array wasnt showing up during win10 installation. once windows finished installing i used my network to automatically search for drivers in the device manager to do the rest.

"I just set up my ryzen build..."

Start over from the beginning, with one drive. Boot from your OS install USB, and wipe it completely during the install.

So... destroy my array, Reinstall on one 240 drive, and all should be good?

Yes. And whatever settings you may have in the BIOS referring to RAID, undo that.

Start with one drive only.
