Motherboard EMERGENCY

[BadNewsBears]

Ya I know wrong forums. Blow it. I need help NOW. Weve all needed it before.

OK Gigabyte ga7n400pro mobo with raid. OK i stopped using the comp due to new house 8 months ago. I sold it and needed to clear the biotch out of my personal files. I fire her up. AHhhh get half way done and go to my computer and.. WTF there are two hard drives not here. array one and two . WIndows wont fricken display them. The gigabyte utility shows them working fine. The raid scan on bootup goes fine and detects both.
I have to ship by noon tomorrow. AND NEED to get to m files. ANy help or suggestions??

Install latest Raid Drivers for the mobo?

Repair Install of windows, pressing F6 to installl third party raid/scsi drivers?

Can the array's be seen in DiskPart?

go to computer management, try to activate the disks. obviously, don't do anything that will format the drive (chances are it won't ask you though)

It shows three of the four disks/arrays. The one was formatted by me before. The last one does not show up under computer management.

Well?

 

[BadNewsBears]

GAHH. The raid detection screen after the Motherboard POST freaked out when I switched them. DAMN FUGG


tami no. One of them is there. The other array is lost in space.

 

[Brutuskend]

[BadNewsBears]
