Recover on-board Raid 5 array
Posted: 17 Nov 2012, 14:29
Hello!
Yesterday while starting up my computer, only 1 out of 3 drives showed as a member disk. The two other drives were non-members and Intel Rapid Storage didn't put the drives back into the array.
Following some instructions that I read, I made the only drive that was a member a non-member, then I recreated the Raid 5 array using the CTRL I method before Windows booted.
I then went and uninstalled Intel Rapid Storage. After doing so and rebooting, I ran TestDisk, and after many hours, I was unable to find a partition, so I went into Disk Management and allowed it to make the GPT disk.
My array consists of 3x 2 TB drives on the onboard ICH10.
Did I miss a step?
What other suggestions should I try?
If I am able to get the partition and data back, there will be a reward.
Thanks!
