After canary path to 26H1 is for me a dead end, I did a Clean Install, downloaded 25H2.iso and windows media creator and installed windows on C:/ (an M.2) but installation failed to load my other 5 HDD’s. tried the same with Rufus but with same result. Rebooted using a cloned 28120.2546 26H1 on a hotswap SSD and all 5 HDDs were readable and in UEFI were active.
Any suggestions appreciated

See step 10 here. Clean Install Windows 11
What I do is disable RAID if one is not using RAID, ( change disk mode in uefi bios to AHCI which disables RAID.) This makes the installation use Microsoft's storage controller driver to see all your drives. Alternately, you can "add driver" to install the Intel Rapid Storage Controller driver during install by using the links provided in the tutorial,
