OK progress here.
- I turned raid on in the BIOS
- I turned the compatibly-boot thing on (the 3-letter combination, CBS or something)
- Went to install windows, had the b350 raid drives on my USB
- Clicked on the 'load drivers' (or whatever) -button:
I loaded the driver in the PT_RAID\RAID_bottom\WT64A*-folder. At this point no drives were detected.
I loaded the driver in*PT_RAID\RAID_driver\WT64A -folder. Now it detects all drives, but incorrectly shows my old RAID0.
I loaded the driver in*RAID_Configuration -folder.
Installed windows on my SSD
Remember to do it in that order! It didn't work before cause I think I loaded the driver first, and then the bottom one.
So now I have succesfully installed windows on raid mode.. but I don't know how I'm going to solve my existing raid0 not being detected. Maybe I'll have re-assemble my old system and backup my raid to a new 4tb drive..

There is a major misconception in believing you can just initialize your raid0 on a new controller and access the data on it.
You can't migrate a raid0 to a different controller and retain the data on it.
You need to use the old motherboard (with the controller where the raid0 was created on) and backup the data from the raid0 to another location / disk.
Then you need to recreate the raid0 in your new machine again to make it usable in your new system.
The data on the raid0 array will be lost, but you have your backup and can copy everything back.

Rrrrrrrrright, that explains a lot. I didn't think it was this way cause I had previously switched motheboards during my AM3+ days, and it worked fine. But that probably had the same controller.
Off topic but any idea how effective recovering from raid0 would be? I know the saying that raid0 doesn't allow restoring anything if it's lost, but data recovery software can do magic on a lot of things. But I'm wondering how much it could recover, if I wiped the drives now and then ran some data recovery software.

OK. So I got a new AM4 mobo on friday, and I can't get my RAID0 array to work.
Specs:
Asus B350 Prime plus
2x 2tb hard drives RAID0
1x 1tb
1x 256gb SSD
The raid was configured in my old system, and re-creating it is not an option (contains 4tb of data).
What happens is, Windows or windows installation doesn't detect any drives when RAID is on. It doesn't matter what slot I have the drives on, it never detects any of them. I've tried disabling the (some 3-letter combination is the name, CBS?), enabling it or using it on legacy mode with no results - windows always goes BSOD with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.
If I go to raidxpert2 or the other configuration utility that comes after POST, it says all drives are 'legacy', as in they need to be initialized if one wishes to use them on RAID. Well, I tried initializing it (the SSD) and it shows up as a raid array in BIOS, but windows installation doesn't recognize it in any form.
I also tried installing the RAID drivers that are in the support section, but windows says they are not supported, even though they're WIN 10 64-bit and I have the exact OS. Also, I don't see any AMD raid or ACHI drivers in the device manager, except for some basic windows drivers.
I have now re-installed windows on ACHI mode, if that helps anything.
quick summary of other things I've tried:
- Removing the CMOS battery and resetting the BIOS settings that way
- Updating BIOS
- Booting with only the SSD
Any help would be appreciated.
