Hello all,
Yesterday I was using my PC just fine. Today I wanted to boot it up again like normal but now it suddenly said there was no boot option available. Then I go into the bios and see that no M.2 card is being recognized. I go to the advanced tabs and do see under Intel Rapid Storage Technology that the RAID volume was connected and successfully working. Tried to boot it up again but still said no boot option available. Then I tried: clearing CMOS, replugging in both M.2 cards, loading UEFI defaults, and last I tried switching back to AHCI mode. When I had AHCI mode enabled and went into the BIOS again, it saw both of my M.2 cards connected, this is when I changed it back to RAID mode. Went into BIOS with RAID mode and the drives were gone again. Now under Intel Rapid Storage Technology tab, it said the drive was connect but now has FAILED. I was tweaking some settings like 'Use RST Legacy OROM' which I have no idea what it does, but when having that setting enabled, it did recognize my M.2 cards but I was not able to boot from it. Another setting I touched was setting M2 RST PCIe Storage Remapping from enabled to disabled. Same thing happend, it recognized both M.2 cards, but it did not want to boot from it, even though it is in RAID mode.
So with that being said, is there any way to make it bootable again? I do not think any of the cards has died since I literally only have the two M.2 cards for about a week. If it is NOT able to boot again, is there any way to recover data from it?
If it helps explaining things to me, I have ASRock motherboard.
Thanks a lot for helping guys,
Vincent
