Hello, I've come here to ask you guys how to get raid 0 working. First i'll explain step by step leading up to my problem.
(I have an AMD A10-6800k CPU and an Asus a88xm-a motherboard)

So, the first thing I did was boost up into my BIOS then changed my SATA type to raid. After that, I restarted my pc, pressed "Ctr R" then I made the raid0 array. After that, I booted into a windows 10 disc image. Once I was in windows setup when it asked me "Where do you want to install windows?" no hard drive showed up I even clicked load driver and my hard drives were not in there too I've done this once in the past without raid and it showed me my two hard drives. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Oh, And i rebooted into BIOS to check if I did anything wrong and under SATA I saw that none of my hard drives where showing there anymore.

Here are some pic's:

Aside from the why and the risk, you need the Sata driver from Asus's site (along with the rest of the Win10 drivers and a hotfix) Here as long as you already formatted the array in the Ctrl-R setup utility.
If you hadn't, plan on that taking a few hours.
When you clicked Load Driver, did you pick a driver you had previously downloaded from your motherboard’s site and extracted onto a usb stick? Windows has no clue how to interact with raid without the driver.

More importantly, why are you trying to set up a raid with that system and increase your chances of complete data loss?

I'd like raid because what i'm trying to do with my pc I don't want my HWID being out there. And I have 2 2TB WD hard drives

Like I've also said above I really don't need security for my data, But rather to hide my HWID. And no I did not have any driver on the USB rather then what media downloaded on it..

"HWID"? Hardware ID? Or something else?
What does a RAID 0 have to do with that?

Yes your Hardware ID, And Raid0 Set's your HWID to "RAID" (You can check this by doing "wmic diskdrive get serialnumber" in CMD. With your HWID set to "RAID" it highers my security for what I'm trying to do.
