So I've been trying to diagnose a problem with Windows 10, it won't let me update to the newest feature update. One way I was trying to fix it was changing some settings and turning off a few things in the BIOS. I decided I needed to reset everything back to default and of course forgot to swap the settings back for RAID support. So I have a 4x6TB RAID 10 setup that's dead atm.
Right now in Disk Manager I have two disks unaccounted for. One that's 2794GB and has a large RAW partition, and another that's 11178GB and has two different unallocated partitions (that I had to "initialize"). As a side note, I have an SSD and two different storage drives to accompany the RAID and one of the storage drives isn't showing up too, rather odd.
I followed the suggestions to check my Intel BIOS setup. Two of the drives that were supposed to be in RAID were not, so I unselected the two that were and put the drives back in RAID 10. Then I followed the main guide for TestDisk, including finding files and everything, and wrote everything, figuring it would work. Fixed the boot, did everything I was supposed to do and I still got nothing. Now I can't even view the files that were there anymore. TestDisk is still finding the one partition, but I'm having it deep search atm to see if I screwed something up (does it matter if it's in Intel or EFI? EFI is incredibly slow and it was originally selecting Intel I think).
Am I doing something wrong here or am I just being impatient and not waiting on the deep search?

Re: BIOS Reset RAID 10
With disk over 2 TB (or Raid over 2 TB), you should use EFI GPT.
