It makes no sense to enable RAID mode if Windows was installed with it enabled. For your own sanity stop disabling and enabling options, that were not disabled or enabled, because by doing so you only lessen the chances we can help you. Your suspicions that this an EFI are spot on, but CSM is incompatible with UEFI Windows installations, and enabling RAID mode wouldn’t solve an EFI partition problem. | |
