Access to data from RAID 1

#1 Post by snowreg »

Hello,

First, I'm happy to found tools and forum to help me.
I'm just lost how I should proceed, I hope you can help me.

I have a motherboard Asus P6X58D-E with Marvell 9128 Controller.
I have a Raid 1 on it.

The Raid is still detected in the Bios, but not anymore in windows.
Drive are not at all visible in the diskmanager or in the drivers manager.

I updated the drivers, reinstalled windows, ....
Nothing better

I would like to access to my data, I thought I could simply plug one of the discs on an other SATA slot or through a USB/sata adaptor, but the disc is not visible in the windows explorer.
In the disk manager, the disc is show as not activated.

I did a copy of the disc on another one (so now I have 3 times identical).

I would like to now if there is a way to change the the type of partition, MBR or file system or whatever that my disc will be readdable under windows with access to the files.
(I would like to avoid to recover the files by copying on another disc)

Do you have an idea how I should do.

Thank you in advance for you advices

If TestDisk doesn't list your raid device under Windows, it's possible to use testdisk under Linux: create an USB Live USB (ie. fedora), install testdisk and try it.
