I recently built a new PC and I was using a MSI Z170A Gaming M5 mobo to setup up a raid 0 with 2 one TB HDDs. I also have a Sandisk 480GB SSD that holds the OS (Windows 10). I followed the directions from the user guide and created the volume I wanted. However, when I restart the computer, because my BIOS is in RAID mode, I get an error message saying inaccessible boot drive. When I go back into the BIOS and go back to AHCI mode, my computer then can start up normally, but I can't find my RAID 0 volume. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong/how I can fix this? Also, can I just create the Raid 0 volume in Disk Management?

Once you enable RAID for your SATA ports in the Bios, windows won't be recognized on the boot drive you installed it on. You want to enable RAID on your SATA ports FIRST, then do the windows install and you'll have to provide windows the motherboard's RAID driver during install so its bootable. If you haven't done much besides just install windows on that SSD, and you're OK with blasting it and starting over, I'd try to do this.
