Will desribe what happened:

Hardware: Maximus formula II (ACH10R), WD raptor 74gb, Seagate 500 Gb, 2x velociraptor 300gb.

Windows XP

In bios i set sata configuration to RAID. Rebooted and added my 2 velociraptors to raid 0.
Installed Windows using ICH10r driver floppy during install.

First time i booted i could see my 74gb drive with windows and my 500gb drive with all my data. But raid was missing. so i installed chipset drivers, same situation. Installed Intel Matrix storage and rebooted. Now i can see in Storage management window my raid0 as nonformatted, and my 500gb disk with all data is in state not initialized/not formatted.

i dont know what to do, if ill initialize it i assume ill loose all my data? Is it normal situation that Matrix Storage kills all data on nonraid disks??
