Fixing RAID after bios flash.

[NeverEatAlone]

Hi all.

I wish my welcome was under more pleasant circumstances.


I can only wish that the first time i read below was in a Gigabyte flash manual instead of during my search on RAID recovery

Then reboot Back into the BIOS again before you go into windows. You will need to set your hard drive settings again in the Advanced BIOS page. MOST IMPORTANTLY do not try to load Windows if you are using a RAID setup without setting these disk settings again or you will corrupt your RAID Array.

To cut to the chase: Is there an established / reliable way to recover from this 'error'?

ps: I'm still searching the boards/google, but if someone has a link or a tool it would greatly help. Thanks.

Lsdme (author of the bios flashing guide) might be able to help you.
Post back with the specific raid error messages that you're getting and include the exact steps that led to your problem.

No, there is no way to recover from making that mistake if you are running RAID 0.

Here is a guide for Data Recovery, very in depth and may offer you no luck with RAID 0 recovery but you can try >>
Intel ICHxR RAID Data Recovery 101 - XtremeSystems Forums

Other than that if you have a third disk you can try some programs that take days to recover your data and cost lots of $$ but again with RAID 0 this will likely be a waste of your time
