I can now see that my array is initializing (or "CREATE"ing). After a restart, RAIDXpert2 worked finally. you can, if required, the assigning unassigned drive letter for each partition. Run the Disk Management from the Windows 10 run dialog and command diskmgmt.msc 2. But, dont panic, here is the solution Start the Windows 10 Disk Management and verify the drive letter assignment 1.
#Initialize drive drive windows 10 driver
I then ran it again with only the driver selected (since RAIDXpert2 still wasn't working, I figured the Floppy/F6 driver wasn't enough), and this time it actually installed a driver. If in Windows 10 an external USB drives that the paths or drive name are not correct assigned. I ended up running it once with just RAIDXpert2 selected (since I though I already had a working driver), and RAIDXpert2 reinstalled. Right-click the volume that has the drive letter you want to change. It finished very quickly and RAIDXpert2 didn't get installed. Click Disk Management to open the Disk Management console.

I uninstalled all the AMD drivers/software, then tried installing again, but noticed that amd_raid_drivers_9.2.0.105.exe wasn't really doing much when I told it to install both the driver and RAIDXpert2. This will ensure Windows 10 or Windows 11 performs a full format instead. Uncheck Quick Format under Format Options. But I obviously want RAIDXpert2 up and running so I can see the array's status. To get started, open File Explorer and locate the drive you want to wipe. I did this by loading the floppy/F6 driver manually (within Windows, not during installation). I was able to get the array detected in Windows and I created a disk.

But the driver installer mentions ACHI Compatible.

Should the BIOS be setup for RAID or AHCI? I have it set to RAID, of course.
