Hi, I have 2x 1 TB Samsung 980 NVME M.2 SSD in RAID 0 but, the bios is not recognizing the RAID Array as a Boot option is just says "Hard Disk" NOTE: it's not even in the drop down menu. Also, when trying to install Windows 11 Pro, the installation does not recognize the Raid Array. I have put the updated Intel RST Driver for EVGA Z690 Kingpin for Windows 11 Pro on a USB but, when I "Load Driver" , Windows 11 installation does not load the updated RST driver that I got from EVGA website and still not recognizing the RAID array. The Raid Array is also not showing in "Disk Part" so I can't even do anything there. Please help, I have been beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out. I assume it has something to do with BIOS not recognizing the RAID Array as a Boot Option. NOTE: I am using i9-13900KS processor, G.skill 6600 DDR5. This is a brand new PC, except for my EVGA 3090. Thank you for all of your help.       " />

Copy the whole RST folder not just the F6 folder inside it. Then when u come to load the F6 driver there will be 3 choices rather than just one. I made the same mistake. Now I’m running two 2TB 990 Pro’s in RAID0 and they’re working great.

Thanks Raven for responding. I did copy the whole folder which had only the "F6" and "Installer" folders in it. The picture above shows these folders. Let me know if you have any other thoughts.

In the BIOS, do you have the VMD controller enabled in the SATA Configuration menu? Note, you will need to save and restart before you will see any changes.

Do you guys see "Hard Disk" as Boot Option #1?

@EVGATech_LeeM: issues persists. I think you were trying to send me some files in the support ticket but, the files are not there

I responded to your ticket earlier and provided you a link instead. We've uploaded that driver to the website as an updated RST driver.

Yes, the new driver works. I just got finished installing Windows 11 Pro in RAID 0 with no issues. Everything is good now. Thank you so much for your assistance.
