1) I'm dump 2) I got 2 x 2TB in RAID 1 (mirroring) with my all precious gay porn. It was running on something like Intel Rapid Storage Technology. 3) I decided to play with BIOS and switch SATA ports from RAID to regular mode 4) stupid intel's chipset didn't remember the RAID configuration when I switched back to RAID mode 5) stupid intel's software/firmware/etc can recreate RAID without "Data will be permanently removed when you create volume. Do you want to continue? Y/N" Is there good and free soft that can recover my data? Disks are OK, but there are no partition that is recognized by Win. |

I know about that intel's screw up. They should ship replacement MB around April. But unfortunately in this case data lost was my own stupidity... |

Heard good things about: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/pr ... index.html http://www.ptdd.com/ (Used to be Partition Table Doctor and used to be good -- now looks like someone bought them so idk) http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk Haven't heard about but looks like it might help: http://raidlabs.com/raid_recovery/raid_recovery.php Also, all these look like they offer demo downloads which you can use to see whether it can recognize your data or not -- if it can, then it'll prob. be worth the time trying to find the free / full cost version of the program. |

Are you sure you cannot manually set the RAID config in BIOS and just remount the partition? This basically happened to me on my wife's PC when I flashed the M/B BIOS, she had a RAID 5 configured as the primary boot partition and the flash reset the storage controller to SATA mode. I crapped my pants a little, but when I went into the BIOS and set it back to RAID it booted right up. |

Thanks for help guys! Got the data back - used Recover My Files (http://www.recovermyfiles.com/) @ RAID recovery via BIOS - apparently it's not working this way on my new MB (it did work on my previous one)... Anyway conclusion is: F*CK RAID setup for home use. More pain than it's actually worth. To have kind of reliable backup I set my 2 disks in a regular mode (no-fucking-RAID). Mounted one as a backup drive in Win7, mounted second drive as a folder on the first one and scheduled once a week powershell script that looks like that: --- $tmpDate = Get-Date $tmpDate = $tmpDate.AddDays(-8) $tmpString = Get-Date $tmpDate -format MM-dd-yyyy xcopy d:\folder1 d:\!backup\folder1 /E /C /Q /H /R /Y /J /I /D:$tmpString xcopy d:\folder2 d:\!backup\folder2 /E /C /Q /H /R /Y /J /I /D:$tmpString --- That's for my collection of gay porn + weekly system drive backup via Win7 built-in "Backup and Restore" (I'm surprised, but it works pretty good) |
