KRYOGENIUS Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 HelloCan you describe what happens more exactly ? Have you deleted datas or the entire structure ?Try this software, i use it since 3 years with success (Intel ICH5 and ICH8R). Especially for errors or deletion !http://www.runtime.org/raid.htm++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITU Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 My setup was the following:HDD 1 (~40gb, Windows and programs)HDD 2 (50GB, Data)HDD 3 (50GB, Data)HDD 4 (100GB, Music etc)I saved the files from HDD 4. And I wanted to disassemble it. As I thougt, that I backed-up the RAID (HDD 2 and HDD 3), I entered the Raid-Setup which appeared right after I turned on my computer. I chose to delete the array and I confirmed it. I turned off the computer and disassembled the two HDDs 2 and 3. After booting into windows I saw, what I just did.And that's it.

nmX.Memnoch Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Since it's a Promise controller you should be able to put HDDs 2 and 3 back in the machine, then go into the Promise RAID setup and recreate the array exactly as it was before. You have to be sure that the stripe size is the same as it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
