OK so had a notification from Asus about an update to new BIOS as it had some fixes, realised mine is over a year old so went through the BIOS update using the inbuilt BIOS flash tool and all went well

after a reboot I am greeted with

"Please enter setup to recover bios setting.
When raid configuration was built, ensure to set sata configuration to raid mode.
Press f1 to run setup."

the BIOS it currently set like the picture below and Boots just fine




Is this all ok as is or is there something that needs to change? Its been a while since I looked at a BIOS in any depth and this is very different to what I was used to

I can change AHCi to Raid but seem to recall that this can leave the PC in a state that wont boot

Cheers for any help guys.
 
Looking at that it seems like you are using a single Samsung 860 sata SSD (unless there was a second ssd that failed entirely and isn't showing up, if that was the case and you were using raid 0 you wouldn't be able to boot anyway, raid 1 you would but the raid utility would be telling you the array was compromised), so no leave it in AHCI, dare I say if you had a raid setup and you did it yourself, you would know about it and not need to ask so I think it's safe to say you weren't. The NVME raid setting you have highlighted in the picture applies only to PCI-E based NVME storage, so wont have any affect on your SATA disk anyway. If you aren't sure, NVME drives looks like this and plug into M.2 slots on the motherboard that use the PCI-E bus to operate at much higher speeds than SATA storage.

And in answer to your other thought, yes, if you alter those settings you may well not be able to boot the system.

Right that's great thanks for that it confirmed all that I was thinking but its been so long since I manually updated a BIOS that I wanted to check

Your spot on about the Drive I only have a single SATA and then a couple of spare drives for storage but nothing in RAID

It was just the prompt from the boot that made me ask I never had anything like that with my old system and this was the first BIOS update on this new one since I had it from here last September

cheers for the prompt reply :)

The prompt about the boot is probablly just a case of settings your ssd to first in boot priorty order .
