RAID 0 accidentally unraveled with MB bios reset - how to get it back?

[drizzt0531]

Hi,
My first post as a newbie to this forum. If this topic has been covered, I could not easily find it using this sites search tool so my apologies ahead of time. As the title indicates, I accidentally unraveled a pair of RAID 0 drives when I factory reset the bios. The raid0 drive was functioning perfectly fine and I did not do any formatting or anything to recover from it at this point. How do I reestablish the raid w/out compromising the data? This raid drive was used as logical storage drive and not as a boot drive. Many thanks in advance.

I have had many BIOS with RAID set back to default (after a flash of BIOS). YMMV, but all I did was simply turn RAID back on in BIOS, saved and rebooted, go to the BIOS RAID setup (i.e. <CTRL><I> for the Intel RAID option rom) and my drive were always listed as a RAID already. I simply rebooted into Windows from there.

Your RAID data should be perfectly intact, simply need BIOS to reflect RAID to get it to run again.
