Hello everyone! I would really appreciate any help solving this issue.

I've recently purchased 4 500gb Samsung 850 EVO's and hooked them up into my case. I logged in and windows recognizes all four of them as Unallocated drives. Then I entered my MSI X99A Gaming 7 mobo's BIOS and switched from AHCI to RAID. After restarting, the mobo entered into its RAID configuration setup. I then selected the four drives and created a new RAID 0 configuration, which I cleverly named SPEED. After rebooting again and loading into my boot drive, Windows 10 presents the error 0xc000000f. I looked this up and many recommended that I create an installation disk on a USB.

I was able to switch my sata controller back from RAID to AHCI and was able to boot without any problems. So I created the installation disk on my usb, turned RAID back on, and hoped to repair windows with the installation disk. However, the only options that it present me with are to continue with an upgrade or do a clean installation of windows. I do not wish to do a clean installation so I clicked continue with upgrade. This didn't change anything and I was again presented with the 0xc000000f error.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide !

Just to give this some closure, I ended up clean installing windows 10 and had no issues with the mobo raid 0 setup. I did not have to change any of the sata ports for the boot drive.
