BSOD INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE after installing AMD RAIDXpert2 drivers Windows 11

Okay, where or how to start this subject? 

 

I had to perform a clean Windows 11 installation because my OS crashed. I downloaded all the AMD drivers and GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO WIFI drivers but in Device Manager, two RAID icons with a triangle quotation mark were displaying. So I downloaded the AMD RAID Utility & AMD RAID Preinstall Driver and after I found the correct driver and it showed in Device Manager it was successfully installed, Windows displayed a message to restart, and that was when the the famous BSOD appeared.

 

The first BSOD displayed the coded message "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE". I performed a UEFI: BootRec /FixMBR && BootRec /RebuildBCD, reboot and thought it would work and then I got the second BSOCD code message "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED".

 

I have read many blogs about repairing Windows OS to avoid doing another clean install. But let's say I do a clean Windows install. What am I supposed to do to get the RAID working and NOT to do to avoid another BSOD?

 

At this point, I am not even sure what the heck is going on because, for the second time, I installed the AMD RAIDXpert2 drivers and rebooted the OS, and it crashed.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 
Thanks

What are your system specs?

What happened to make your OS crash?

Do you have two drives you are attempting to use in a RAID array? What RAID level are you using? Have you created the array in the BIOS? When you install the OS are you loading the RAID driver?

Here is the RAIDXpert2 User Guide

https://drivers.amd.com/relnotes/amd-raidxpert2_user_guide.pdf

It explains the different RAID options, walks you through the BIOS setup and details the GUI software once you have it installed in Windows.
