UNSOLVED
Incompatible disk
I bought a XPS8910 with a 2 TB hard disk and 32 GB SSD. It was in RAID configuration. I changed the SATA mode to UEFI then removed the 32 GB SSD and put in a 500 GB Samsung one. I disconnected the hard disk SATA connector. I then successfully reinstalled Windows 10 on the Samsung SSD. When I reattached the hard disk SATA cable, the disk was not found by Windows. It is in the Bios. The Intel Rapid Storage Utility software says the drive is incompatible but I have not been able to figure out how to delete whatever is on the drive that made it part of a RAID. Amu suggestions?

You cannot have a drive on SATA 0 in the NVME slot as well as on the motherboard. The only way around this is to use PCI-E NON B keyed M2 instead of SATA based M2 Drive.
B keyed is SATA no B key = PCI-E

The FAUX RAID is configured in the Intel utility by enabling or disabling acceleration. If order for that to work, the SATA controller has to be set to RAID.
Be aware, UEFI and SATA are not related. The SATA controller is RAID or AHCI and in your situation can be set to AHCI, although changing it without using a special procedure may lead to loss of boot or at least a Recovery scenario.
The system will pick up the normal SATA drive first. :You might check the BIOS and make sure the mSATA is set to primary boot device by using its Windows Boot Manager.
