Hi everyone,
i had 4x1TB drives set as a RAID10 volume in my ASUS MB's intel BIOS (ICH9R). Also set up in Win7 matrix storage manager.
then i detached the 4x1TB drives and attached 2 new 2TB drives.
only then i deleted the "old" RAID in Intel BIOS and defined a new RAID1 for the 2 new 2TB drives.
My question is wheter i can re-attach my "old" RAID and directly access my files without doing a complete recovery.
I might have saved an earlier state of the whole BIOS to a preset in bios setup. Does that help?
many thanks
Joe

Re: Is my RAID 10 volume lost ?
It should be ok if you reconnect all your disks. If the BIOS does not detect the correct configuration, you have two possibilities:
- boot from a Linux cdrom/dvd, use the program "fakeraid" to detect the Raid parameters and mount your partitions
- or in the BIOS setup, restore exactly the old parameters
