Hi. I have an ASRock X670E, and I'm trying to get Windows 10x64 to install to a 4 NVME RAID0 that I have set up successfully.
Windows is failing to interact properly with the correctly set up RAID disk even after installing the "Floppy" drivers from here:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Taichi/index.asp#Download" rel="nofollow - https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X670E%20Taichi/index.asp#Download
And following the instructions here:
https://download.asrock.com/Manual/RAID/B550%20Taichi/English.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://download.asrock.com/Manual/RAID/B550%20Taichi/English.pdf
What's happening:
I create the array and RAID 0 in the BIOS (after flipping the obscurely named settings from the guide), and boot to Windows 10 installation media I downloaded from Microsoft on to a USB drive.
I load all three drivers, in sequence. This converts the 4 1tb drives to a single 4tb space drive, which is good.
When I click "Next", Windows thinks for a second, and then says it can't install to the selected disk, please check storage medium, and throws the error code 0x080300024 which is just generic Windows for "Something is wrong with the storage" according to Google.
The only discrepancy I see is that the version of the "floppy" drivers downloaded from the website looks different than what's in the instructions - the drivers are not in a folder called "W10x64", they're in "NVME_DID".
Am I doing something wrong?

Update: I think there is something wrong with the latest version of the drivers available on the website (9.3.2.130). I found the drivers mentioned in the guide on SoftPedia: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOTHERBOARD/ASRock/ASRock-B450M-ac-AMD-SATA-Preinstall-Driver-9-2-0-120-for-Windows-10-64-bit.shtml" rel="nofollow - https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOTHERBOARD/ASRock/ASRock-B450M-ac-AMD-SATA-Preinstall-Driver-9-2-0-120-for-Windows-10-64-bit.shtml
I downloaded and used them, and following the instructions in the PDF link above worked. Windows is now installing on version 9.2.0.120.
This was a very frustrating experience to say the least.
