Correctly configuring and connecting drives for bootable FuzeDrives

FuzeDrive for AMD Ryzen requires the boot drive and/or at least one of the disk drives that are part of the FuzeDrive to be attached to the primary motherboard AMD SATA controller. The system may not always reboot properly if the boot drive is attached to a non-AMD controller. Please consult the motherboard/system documentation to confirm which ports are connected to the primary AMD controller.

Alternatively, use the Driver Controller Information utility accessible from the FuzeDrive installer Express/Custom selection page to check where the boot drive and other FuzeDrive devices are currently attached. If necessary, move the boot drive to the AMD controller (e.g. SATA port 0 is typically attached to the primary AMD chipset AHCI controller). If using all SATA devices for the FuzeDrive, it is recommended that all devices are attached to the primary AHCI controller.

The FuzeDrive Drive Controller Information screen shot and example configuration screen are illustrated below.
