Hey guys, first post here!
So my situation is this: while messing around in bios to set my ram speed, I accidentally triggered m.2 genie and formatted my raid setup that was acting as my boot drive. I have since recovered copies of all of those files to a seperate drive, unfortunately the file linkages were broken, and everything is pretty much dumped into one file on a different drive. Weirdly enough when I accidentally formatted my boot drive, an old instillation of windows 10 booted off an old drive, so I can get in and look at files without using another computer.

My main ask is this: what do I need to do to restore the files to the previously formatted drive and make it bootable again to my windows 11 install.

I have not formatted or installed partitions on the intended boot drive yet. Is there a certain windows file that needs to be in a specific named folder to get it to boot properly?

Thank you for the help!!

Before anyone can give you advice you need to fill in your hardware info in more detail, post screenshots of your disk management screen, preferably with the display normalised to reveal partition layouts in an easily readable form (you can use Paint to block out any personably identifiable info) or use something like Minitool to show disk & partition info.
Under most circumstances formatting a RAID setup is non recoverable, at least with default Windows tools, so you will need to include any software you have used to 'recover' copies of your files already.
The more detailed information you can provide the easier it will be for someone to help you.
