But this is not the end.ġ5) Exit the configuration as per the instruction on your screen.ġ6) Reboot your computer into normal mode.

It is usually suggested that you create the RAID volumes slightly smaller than the actual capacity of the current disks instead of using the full capacity.ġ3) Press Y to continue creating the new RAID after you fill in the correct values.ġ4) The RAID will go back to Normal and we can boot into Windows now. Disks must be in the same order as before, and the strip size must be the same as before. Note: This will NOT overwrite any data on disks except for the RAID configuration area (which was empty before already).ġ2) Re-Create the RAID using the SAME settings as the original RAID that you are trying to recover. Press CTRL-I when prompted during the boot process to enter the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM utility.ĥ) As you can see from the screen hot here, the disks is now a Non-RAID Disk as marked out in the red box, which is incorrect in our situation.Ħ) Use you arrow key to select option 3. Reset Disks to Non-RAID.ħ) Then select the other disk of the failed RAID-group.Ĩ) When selected, hit Y and then hit Enter according to the notification.ĩ) Now we have the disks both as Non-RAID Disks and we can start reconstructing the RAID configuration. Exit the BIOS Utility.Ĥ) Reboot your computer. In BIOS SETUP Utility dialogue, select Advanced > IDE Configuration> Configure SATA as.Ģ) In the SATA Options menu, select RAID to create an Intel Matrix RAID.ģ) Press F10 to save your change. In BIOS SETUP Utility dialog, use the arrow keys to select the options that you want. If it is your boot volume, some alternative steps for the Windows portion will need to be found.ġ) Enter BIOS settings first. Note: This guide only works if the RAID that has failed is NOT your primary boot volume. To make it easier to understand, RAID is a gadget installed in your computer that helps you faster distribute and extract data, while provide backup for your data in case of any hardware failure (it does not provide protection against data lost to malware, theft, or natural disaster though).īasically speaking, the solution is to recreate the RAID. You may also see RAID 6, or RAID 10, or 5+1, as well as many other levels, but 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly seen ones.

The different number comes behind RAID stands for different levels in the market, such as RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5. It provides failover protection that allows you to have access to your data and array when a drive fails. RAID ( Redundant Array of Independent Disks) was designed to combine multiple, less-expensive drives into a single, higher-capacity and faster volume.

Stop the worries now, there is always a way out, and lucky for you, you can solve the problem while keep your data by yourself.

You might wonder, the data in my computer is all gone for good now. And when they check the status in CMOS setup of RAID (in BIOS settings), it shows Failed. When they check search around on their computers for the possible things that could go wrong, they find that some RAID Volume in their Disk Management is lost, be it RAID-0 or RAID-5, and they can only see an unformatted drive called D. Some users report that they have no way to access a file out of nowhere.
