Thanks for all your help, but I gave up and just formatted my drive. The LiveCD did not recognize my drive after several attempts and switching to GPT never was able to list my files. I was able to recover some files with PhotoRec, so at least I didn't lose everything.

Yes - I can list my files (roughly half of them) just like before. I ran RebuildBS as requested by Christophe, so if that wrote my boot sector, I guess I did. I was willing to try anything, even though this partition was not my boot drive. And now I can't even boot, nor get to my bios unless I ...

Ok, I ran RebuildBS under Intel, as it wasn't an option under EFI FPT. Below is the log file immediately following the command.

Nevermind...most files did not copy over as "No file found, filesystem may be damaged." Some did copy, but most failed. Running PhotoRec now, but with the amount of data I have, that's going to take a long time.

So, is my only hope now that PhotoRec can recover my missing files? No chance of ...

Thanks, but I'm not really sure what you're asking. I don't currently have a backup of everything, but am picking up a 3tb external drive today and will try copying all my data over. At that point, I guess I could just create a new volume in windows and be done with it? I was really hoping I could ...

There is a RebuildBS option if I Analyze the disk as Intel and go into Advanced->Boot. I do find it odd that the partition is found as a type of Intel and I can list the files this way. EFI GPT isn't getting very far.

When I choose the 4gb disk, then EFI GPT as the type, and finally Advanced, I see only 1 partition (1 P MS Reserved 34 262177 262144 [Microsoft reserved partition]. And the only options I see at the bottom are Type, Image Creation, and Quit.

To correct something I said earlier, this drive is not ...

After 4 hours, here are the results (so far) of the quick search under EFI GPT:

I have 2 - 2tb drives with 1 partition of 4000gb/3726gb with a NTFS file format. The screenshot below is after I ran analyze and chose the EFI GPT partition type. I don't know what those MS Reserved partitions are, but it's missing the partition I'm looking for with a name of "Data".

EFI GPT ...

I followed the step-by-step, found my missing partition and could view all my files fine. Then saved the partition table. But upon reboot, the 2 - 2tb RAID0 partition was still listed as RAW in Windows. How can I recover this in Windows?

This first occurred because of a bios update. The type is ...
