Title: M.2 Raid 0 not booteable in Z170x Gamming 5
Post by: sebgallardo on January 18, 2017, 12:13:14 am

Hi, I have a Raid 0 arrangement of M.2 disks (samsung 950pro). However I can’t assign them as bootable.

Before creating the array, I can display both disks without problem and I can choose boot disk.
I also have no problem creating the array in Raid 0.

However, I stopped viewing the volume as selecting it as a bootable drive

I try to proceed with the installation of Windows 10. Using the Intel drivers I have no problems for Windows to allow me to visualize and format the volume. However I am not allowed to perform the installation because it is not a bootable volume.

Are you attempting to install windows using UEFI:?  Review the user guide, this is required for m.2.  Ensure all legacy boot options are disabled.  Confirm the NVMe config.  After your array is created, confirm your boot order. It may be helpful to use the classic display mode (BIOS) which shows more of the options instead of the streamlined "Easy" interface.

When you get to the point where it says you can install the OS try clicking on new it will set up your drive.
