Hello all, I have a 990FX Fatal1ty Killer and I'm running Windows 10. I've got a few 120 GB SSDs around and I'm trying to bet Windows 10 installed on a RAID5 of those SSDs. I've figured out how to actually create the RAID using the UEFI and the RAID controller interface, but when I boot to the Windows installer Windows isn't able to find a disk. I've tried the Easy RAID Installer option in the UEFI to get drivers and I've been able to see the drivers themselves and install them from the Windows installer, but it still doesn't recognize the RAID array. Looking up the drivers on the ASROCK website it looks like they have drivers for Windows 7 and 8 but not 10. Anybody know if there are drivers out there, or how to get 10 installed on a hardware RAID? Thanks!

The only source of RAID drivers for AMD chipsets is AMD. If AMD has them available, they would be posted there my ASRock. They might be there, just not in the way you expect to find them. See below.

Checking the various Windows version download sections for your board, I see the AMD RAID utility on Windows 8.1, and earlier versions, but that is not the AMD RAID driver that you need.

I do see the "SATA Floppy Image ver:3.3.1540.1" listed for Windows 8, and "SATA Floppy Image ver:3.3.1540.13" for Windows 7. But nothing for 8.1 or 10.

I suggest downloading the Windows 10 64bit "AMD all in 1 driver ver:15.20.1060", all 574MB as a .zip file:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20990FX%20Killer/?cat=Download&os=Win1064" rel="nofollow - http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20990FX%20Killer/?cat=Download&os=Win1064

Extract the .zip file, and among the many drivers and files in it, see if you can find the SATA Floppy Image folder, it may not have that name. Hopefully it is there.

Otherwise, give the SATA Floppy Image ver:3.3.1540.1 for Windows 8 a try, is the best I can tell you.
