Removed the Highpoint card to make sure it wasn't interfering somehow.Ĭhanged the NVMe drive to a different NVMe slot. Re-installed the standard AMD Chipset driver. Uninstalled everything AMD I could find in Programs and Features and Apps. It wasn't in Disk Management and it wasn't in Device Manager, no where in Windows. Not that it wasn't showing up in This PC, it wasn't showing up anywhere. That's when I noticed the NVMe drive wasn't showing up in Windows. I booted into Windows, it auto installed the AMD SATA driver and asked me to reboot, and it booted just fine. Then I went into the BIOS and switched the SATA controller from RAID to AHCI and disabled RAID mode on the NVMe(you have to do it in two different placed in the BIOS for some stupid reason). So, I cloned the OS from the 2x120GB SSDs over to a single 240GB SSD using Acronis True Image.
After formatting your C drive, youll be able to reinstall Windows 7 or your preferred operating system. If you dont have a Windows 7 installation disc, you can borrow one or get one from your PC manufacturer. Also, the Cache disk was pretty much worthless because writes directly to the RAID arrays were quicker than writes to the NVMe SSD I was using as a cache. The Windows 7 installation disc that came with your computer can be used to format your main hard drive.

That experiment failed thanks to AMD not supporting TRIM when their controllers are in RAID mode, and all the drives becoming painfully slow(it came to a head when it took over an hour to install Windows 10 Updates). Now, originally I had the NVMe drive and 2x120GB SSDs in RAID1 connected to the motherboard.
