X370 taichi boot problems

So while browsing the internet i came across a post telling that the problem mostly is that the motherboards settings aren't correct to see the drive where the windows is installed on,  ( http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2744141/error-code-0xc000000e.html )  so I took a look in the bios and at the boot settings I cannot see my samsung nvme drive.  So my question is,  where can I find the option to turn on Ahci mode? Thanks in advance.

What version of Windows are you using?

How did you install Windows on your mystery Samsung NVMe SSD?

AHCI mode is the default SATA mode in the UEFI/BIOS, Storage Configuration screen, for any Ryzen board.

But if you are using a Samsung NVMe SSD, that drive uses the NVMe protocol, not the SATA protocol. It is not a SATA drive, and does not use the SATA controller or SATA driver on any Ryzen board. Different SATA modes make no difference with an NVMe SSD.

There is no specific NVMe setting that needs to be set in the UEFI/BIOS, like the SATA mode, since the NVMe controller is part of the SSD itself.

As datonyb said , did you configure anything in the UEFI/BIOS for UEFI booting your NVMe SSD?

You should see your NVMe SSD listed in Storage Configuration, M2_1 slot entry. Did you try clearing the UEFI/BIOS with the jumper on the board, or the CLR CMOS button on the IO panel, and then check Storage Configuration and the Boot Order again.

In the BIOS you should have an option in the Advanced tab named Storage Configuration where you'll find your SATA configuration settings.

Make sure SATA Controller(s) is set to Enabled and SATA Mode is AHCI.

Some others have had issues with disappearing SDDs, so read through some other post in this forum to get some other ideas on what / where to check if the above doesn't help.

Good luck.
