[Solved] Win10 Raid NVE on Fatality x299 XE

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have built over 400 computers, never had a problem till now.
Using the Asrock Fatality x299 XE motherboard with two Samsung 960 Pro m.2 cards. Installed them in m.2-2 and m.2.3 since m.2-1 comes up as not re-mappable. Created the Raid 0 array for the drives and starting to install Windows used Asrock's Intel RapidRaid Driver and that did not work. Downloaded Intel's Driver and that did work. I get to Windows Install and the array shows up, but windows reports that it does not appear to be a bootable drive and that's where the party ends.  I initially installed 3 of the Samsung 960 Pro's only to find out that this motherboard does not support using 3 M.2 slots in raid.

My window for returning this motherboard is quickly closing so if I cannot get this going this weekend I guess I will have to go another direction.

My first experience with Asrock has yet to be enjoyable.

	Well after 4 days of going no where, I decided to download the latest Win10 image from Microsoft to install on an USB jump drive. BAM. Apparently the DVD I was using was old enough to be missing some updated files. Once I went with the latest image Win10 installed like a champ. Problem Solved

	Windows. An OS you can love to hate. Thanks for coming back and stating that.
