Built new Threadripper. Got everything loaded/working lastyear but had to have my raid set up by professional. Unfortunately I recently updatedthe BIOS to the latest version 2.3 for my TR1900X. Yep, it destroyed my SATA raidsetup, lost data on both raid drive letters. Data is backed up and recoverablebut I?™m at a loss as to how to go about setting it up again. Can someone pointme in the right direction without just pointing me to the ASRock raid setupguide? (http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/RAID/Fatal1ty%20X399%20Professional%20Gaming/English.pdf)?I?™d like to understand how to do this so I can continueto make changes in the future. I?™ll break down the raids next time beforemaking changes.

My goal is to get back to the configuration I had before theBIOS upgrade.

I?™ve read a ton of RAID threads but not identified a threadwith my configuration

3 AMD Raid Drivers mentioned in other threads are still inthe driver folder

Easy Mode (F6) -Raid Mode = Disabled

Advanced/PBS - NVMeRAID mode = Disabled

System boots but 3 sata drives are no longer visible in FileExplorer

When I enable NVMe RAID mode and launch RAIDXpert2 the loginsubmit button is grayed out. admin/admin does not work to get me into tool.Getting ??em>LicenseLevel 0 - No RAID (Does not support RAIDXpert2)??error message

Found post to reload 3 AMD drivers. Reloaded fresh downloadfrom vendor.

Also found the steps below to set up SATA array. But I don?™thave the ?śProfessional Gamer??board so can?™t do step 3.

For SATA array.
1. Boot into BIOS, hit F9 then F10
2. Boot into BIOS, set SATA mode to RAID
3. Set CSM to disable
4. F10
5. boot into BIOS
6. use RAIDXpert2 (RX2) to delete all drives you want included in the RAID andany
    arrays not needed
7. Create array, selecting each of your drives, one by one
8. F10
9. Boot into Boot Menu (F11)
10. Select install USB.  You should see UEFI only version.
11. Install the RAID drivers in this order:
   1-rcbottom - all your drives in the RAID will disappear
   2-rcraid - you will see your one RAID
   3-rccfg - you are good to go!
12. Install W10 on the RAID.
13. Enjoy.

What?™s your thoughts at this time??

 

Is there any way around a fresh OS install to get intoRAIDXpert2??

Users with an existing RAID arraycannot perform an in-place driver or BIOS upgrade to add NVMe RAID support totheir system.
