Windows 10: SATA RAID Drives lost drive letters after BIOS update for X670 AORUS Elite AX flash

Hello, I updated my BIOS using the Gigabyte Control Center Tool in Windows 11. My SATA RAID 0 configuration was drives E and F, 2 2TB SATA SSDs, now Windows seems them in Computer Management but does not have the previous drive letters assigned to them.Processor AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor 4.20 GHz Motherboard GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX ver 1.0 BIOS F20Installed RAM 32.0 GB 31.1 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

Internal Storage Devices swap drive letters

The machine has a M.2 PCLe NVMe SSD (the system drive), an internal HDD storage drive, and an internal optical drive
The SATA controller was set as RAID at the factory. I never enabled RAID on the system by any means to create RAID volumes.

The BIOS lets me change the SATA Controller to RAID or to AHCI.
I recently made the change from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS using safemode boot procedure steps.

Something I didn’t expect happening during this change was the internal optical Drive and the internal HDD swapping drive letters.
Maybe I’m being a little overly apprehensive. If the data can't be restored one day for whatever reason, would keeping the drive letters the way they are assigned now and making all new backups of personal data, and creating new DVD rescue disks, and new backup DVD’s be the more prudent step to ensure the data integrity for the lack of a better term ?

It's easy to reassign the drive letters following the excellent tutorial
“Change and Assign Drive Letter in Windows 10 by @Brink which offers a way for correcting this on-board SATA port redirection that maybe occurred or whatever, except.....
every DVD burned, every personal file ever backed up on the external drive using SyncBackFree, the rescue DVD, all originally created with the opposite drive letters, draws concern of potential file unrestorability, and DVD data unreliability.

I only mention my skepticism changing the drive letter of a storage device back to what it originally was and potentially not being able to restore back ups only because some have attested that trying to restore personal files to the internal HDD lead to headaches.

Any comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Not to get off the subject but,
The Storage controller driver that installed is a Standard Microsoft NVMe driver. Any suggestions on this generic driver are also very much appreciated.

 

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

 

SATA Drive missing after windows 11 update. Shows in Bios

Sata drive missing after update.

only my m.2 drives show.

Comes up in BIOS but not in disk management or device manager.

Not sure if related to 2 missing raid drivers in device manager, every time I update I get bluescreen.
