NEED HELP! - Bootloop

I recently bought a Samsung evo 970 plus m.2 PCIe NVMe drive -500 GB (Got it for 77 USD in a sale).  Cloned my 1 TB toshiba HDD using the Samsung software. Booted from the ssd after erasing the HDD(used DBAN). Today I decided to run diskpart after initialising the HDD for the first time, and noticed that both my drives were in RAID for some reason. I mostly use the game for development (currently a student), and gaming. Didn't think I needed RAID. So I went into the BIOS and changed the SATA operation setting from RAID on to AHCI and now my laptop's in bootloop. Reverted to RAID on, but still no luck. I have a dell support assist pen drive in case I need to re-install windows. Could someone please help?

 

(Also, should I keep the setting for SATA operation RAID on , or in AHCI? ). 

 

System Specs:

Alienware 15R3-2016

8 GB DDR4 Ram

Intel core i5-6300 HQ

Nvidia GTX 1060

1TB 2.5" HDD

500 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD (Newly added)
